The Care of Fine Books von Jane Greenfield
Though mainly concerned with collections in libraries, it makes interesting reading for anyone concerned with the physical characteristics of books and the best ways to preserve them from deterioration.
What the heck is a headband, you ask? Okay, go to your bookshelf, pull out a book, hold it so that the spine is away from you. Do you see, along the top and bottom of the spine end of the text block, a strip of sewing the width of the book? Probably two colors of thread? That's a headband.
Today, it's purely decorative. But there was a time when it was part of the structure of the book. The headband in your book is probably just sewing on a piece of cloth that is then glued to the text block. But in a fine binding, it is sewn, thread by thread, onto the text block.
This book is an excellent manual for the hand binder. The descriptions and illustrations are easy to follow, and it gives directions for quite a variety of headbands, from simple ones to complex, three color - five core headbands. Something for everyone!… (mehr)
