Originally published in 1929, and based on The Sandars Lectures for 1927, this volume provides a historical study of English binding. The text is divided into two main sections: the first covers the period up until 1300; the second focuses on Gothic bindings creates between 1450 and 1500. A generous appendices section is also included towards the end. Beautifully presented, and containing a large number of illustrative examples, this is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in bibliography and medieval English history.
