An expanded version of the Bird & Bull edition of Middleton's memoirs, which are idiosyncratic but very funny in parts. With some excellent color illustrations of many of his design bindings. ( ) A memoir by the grand old man of bookbinding. This book includes colour prints of most of Middleton's modern designed bindings, as well as some in black-and-white. He is an artist, as well as a craftsman, though he proudly describes himself as the latter. He is also ingenious in a pinch. "I love cats individually, but en masse they have tried my patience inordinately. On one occasion I found that a pile of newly-bound books which were ready for collection had stuck together, the cause of which calamity need not be spelt out. It occurred to me to pour ammonia between them, a cunning wheeze which worked like a charm, and there was no residual staining." aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"This is the autobiography of one of the world's leading book restorers, binding scholars, and international lecturers on book conservation and binding. It is also the story of a gangly teenager's rise from his first position at the British Library's bindery to the pinnacle of his craft." "This work is not only this craftsman's personal story - in Recollections the reader is treated to a unique insight into Britain's strict trade school; and indentured apprenticeship of the early first half of the 20th century." "Originally published as a fine press book by Henry Morris on his renowned Bird & Bull Press, this edition has an expanded text with many additional historical illustrations. This edition also features four-six colour and forty-six black and white photographs of Bernard Middleton's finest binding designs." "Recollections: A Life in Bookbinding should be on the shelf of any bibliophile interested in fine hand binding and the traditions of the men and women who make up this important art form."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
