Highlights from the Bernard C. Middleton Collection of Books on Bookbinding

By Bernard C. Middleton

This elegant cloth-bound, full-color catalog accompanied an exhibition of rare items from the Middleton Collection and was published to coincide with the Bookbinding 2000 Conference at RIT. It includes illustrations and explanatory texts of the rarities on display—from historical ephemera to masterpieces of the binder’s art. A selection of some of Bernard Middleton’s most celebrated essays on bookbinding is also featured in this work.
