Gives a detailed insight into the life and work of this famous family of Craft Bookbinders. Illustrated with photographs, including of important bindings throughout in black and white. The illustrated appendix D covers examples of some of their bookplates.

This is a heavy volume and, as consequence, the shipping cost will be higher than the average quoted in my store listings.
