My grandpa was once a bookbinder.

As was me grandmum.

I have several books she bound including a lovely third edition (1940) of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary which she presented to a family friend as a wedding present.

It came into my possession by a circuitous route. Fifteen years ago, thanks to the sharp eye and acquaintance of a friendly local book dealer, the book was offered to me and now resides on my bookshelf— nestled alongside several of its siblings.

There is a local amateur bookbinding class that has been running for years as part of Adult Education.

When they start, they practise on worthless books but some can't bring themselves to make the transition to valuable books. They lack confidence in their own ability.

Years ago I bought from a local charity shop a beautifully bound book. It had card boards covered in cloth, gilded title and borders and the text block was gilded on all edges. The book was fitted into a beautifully made matching slip case. But the book was an out-of-date annual guide, originally an A4 size paperback, to Historic Houses open in England a few years earlier.

I gave it to a friend who was a manager in the company that produced the annual guides. It now sits in their boardroom as a WTF! talking point.

Aren't these the books they put on shelves in model homes developers are trying to sell?

Me grandmum became quite proficient. She eventually tackled a number of semi-valuable books. One of my favorites is the 1928 Quaritch facsimile edition of William Blake's Songs of Experience.

As she was also a book collector, some of her work included clamshell slip cases for valuable books.

AllyRose, I haven't looked through the whole thread so I don't want to repeat.

Also, do you know the name for art printed on the edges of the closed book? There's got to be a particular name.

I'd like to find some of the .gif files of that happening, but so far searching for "book edges illustrated" or suchlike is obviously not terribly helpful.

There's got to be a word for it.
 
Colonization. Payback, I suppose, for being British. Off I go.
