Wyndham Hulme, J. Gordon Parker, A. Seymour-Jones, Cyril Davenport, and F. J. Williamson is a comprehensive guidebook on the subject of bookbinding leather written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the history and reform of leather production specifically for libraries, emphasizing the importance of quality materials in preserving books. It likely addresses the various types of leather, their properties, and the techniques necessary for their proper use in library settings. The content spans several chapters that cover the history of sumach tanning in England, the causes of decay in modern bookbinding leathers, and the characteristics and values of contemporary bookbinding leathers. The authors highlight the detrimental effects of modern tanning methods using acids and other chemicals, which contribute to the rapid deterioration of leather bindings. Additionally, the book provides practical specifications for the fittings of a bindery, alongside recommendations for selecting high-quality leather to extend the life and integrity of library books. Through thorough analysis, it aims to promote a standard of excellence in bookbinding materials and practices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
