520 _a"A Manual of the Art of Bookbinding" by James B. Nicholson is a practical guidebook written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive manual for various techniques involved in bookbinding, including forwarding, gilding, marbling, and finishing. It is intended for practical workmen, amateurs, and book collectors, aiming to provide detailed instructions and insights into the art and craft of bookbinding. The opening of the manual begins with a preface that outlines the purpose of the book and highlights the evolution of bookbinding techniques over the years. Nicholson explains the significance of practical knowledge as he reviews the historical background of bookbinding, touching on ancient methods and the continuous developments made over centuries. He emphasizes the importance of adopting contemporary practices to enhance the art form, suggesting that outdated methods merit revision. The section introduces key aspects of bookbinding that will be elaborated upon in the subsequent chapters, setting the stage for an exhaustive exploration of the craft.
