About this book
Practical Bookbinding is by Paul Adam, director of the Düsseldorf Technical School of Artistic and Practical Bookbinding. The contents list names, among others, chapters on Sewing and on Forwarding: Cutting, Rounding, and Backing, with sections on materials for sewing and pasting, materials for covering the book, materials for decorating and finishing, and tools.
Good paste, when cold, should not be stiff like pudding, according to the text, but should be easily worked with a brush. The best English glue, although the dearest, is the cheapest to use, the text says. A headband can be varied, the text says, by making a few stitches with a third thread of another colour in the centre of the headband. Paper can only be properly mounted upon a very tightly stretched linen or cotton material, linen being generally used in England, the text says.
