This work makes available a mass of useful information, including details of the technical aspects of book making, the vexed question of first editions and the matters of completeness and condition. Contains an excellent glossary.
I started by dipping in to this, but seeing it was written with personality and flair, read it right through. Very interesting. I'd thought I had a number of bound books, but it turns out I have many cased and one bound. A number of my cased books are impersonating bound ones. It might seem a little strange that someone with a reading obsession and a love of books would know so little about the physical nature of books.
