Those of you who have visited the Booksncoffeehouse for long know that I love hand bookbinding and restoration. I received a link in my inbox today that I just had to share with my book loving friends.
Hand Bookbindings - From the plain and simple to the Grand and Glorious
These are gorgeous. I wish I could handle them in person! On this page, you can see all the different books with a magnifier to see all the detail of the binder's marks, edge decorations and bindings. Each book leads you to a different aspect of the books. I am inspired by what they were able to accomplish without all our "modern" hand (or other) bookbinding tools.
