BOOKBINDING:


THE ART OF BINDING BOOKS.

WELCOME TO THE DENIS GOUEY BOOKBINDING STUDIO.

Bookbinding topic for the professional and amateur bookbinder, book binding,
stamping, gilding books:

If you are looking for useful how-to links, Practical Book Binding or
Bookbinding for Amateurs are a good start, with useful tips for hobby and
professional bookbinders alike. Useful for Grade School Teachers, Paper and
cardboard constructions and for the aspiring bookbinding designer, An Essay on
Color.
The Diderot pages will help you with the equipment necessary for the book
binding trade, specially if you wish to build your own presses, sewing frames,
cutting plows etc.

The book binding stain glass image underneath is after a woodblock by Jost Jobst
Amman one of the most popular artist in Germany with a prolific output. It
depicts a bookbinder at work, cutting the edges of a book on a plough, a press
designed for the purpose. In the background is another binder sewing a book on a
sewing frame and on the walls are displayed rolls, palettes and other tools used
in bookbinding.

Clicking on the image will send you to the bookbinding gallery

I think that you will find the bookbinding site useful for the links leading to
the many facets of the trade of bookbinding. 

Bookbinding topics for the professional and amateur bookbinder, stamping gilding
books.

monasteries were the chief centers for fine work in the way of illumination,
hand-printed books and bindings of various kinds. The first good bindings of
which I can find record came…..’’

‘’BOOKBINDING is the fastening together of written or printed leaves in
protecting covers. The Babylonians enclosed their clay tablets with an outer
coating of clay containing a duplicate impression of the characters of the
original tablet…..’’

’’Since the art of gilding leather was introduced into Europe from the east,
about the year 1740, by the Venetians, nothing new in the external decoration of
books has been achieved which gives such endless opportunities for beautiful and
permanent decoration as does the transparent vellum, or “Vellucent,” method.
Originally, leather-bound books depended for decoration mainly upon the blind ’’

’’Those past masters in  Bookbinding – the Eves, Le Gascon, Padeloup Le Jeune
and the various members of the numerous and talented family of Deromes, would, I
fancy, start in amazement from their long, dreamless sleep, could they hear the
paeans now chanted in praise of the handicraft’’

’’The preservation of books is a sacred duty, and allied to it is the reverent
treatment of them. If a man is justified in giving his sweetheart or his wife
costly gems and rich garnment, how much more in clothing his favourite book in a
garb commensurate with his admiration.’’

’’Bookbinding is, undoubtedly, a delicate and a difficult art, and it is almost
impossible to describe some of even its simplest processes. In many cases, the
slightest deviation from the teaching will risk inevitable failure in the
process described; but to make up, as far as may be, for the lack of personal
showing “how to do it,” we shall sprinkle our text thickly with sketches of the
various operations at different stages”

‘’The processes of papermaking and the various tools used in bookbinding are
carefully portrayed. The picture of the typecaster with his furnace, bellows and
mould is instructive, while in the case of the draughtsman the artist has had to
confine himself to illustrating the dress and furniture of the day. This was his
own profession, and perhaps he, too, worked with a pot of flowers on the table.”
