Abstract
Jeff's interest in learning more about bookbinding came about because of a recent donation from the David Richardson estate to the Special Collections Dept. Jeff knew there were some interesting examples of bindings in this donated collection, and he wanted to better understand what we now owned. In this presentation, he showed examples of books from the “hand-press era,” i.e. from the beginning of printing in the 15th century to 1800, when printing presses were powered by hand.
