Degree of Mastery
by Annie Tremmel Wilcox

A richly detailed memoir of an apprenticeship in book-binding and book preservation. The careful description of the craft is interwoven within the telling of a special relationship-mentor to student. Bill Anthony, the mentor in this book, was a highly regarded craftsman well-known in the book arts community. The University of Iowa created a department for Anthony to pass on the skills of bookbinding to students like Annie Tremmel Wilcox. Two-thirds of the way through her apprenticeship, Bill Anthony dies unexpectedly. This is a moving and intense story of Anthony's life, death, and the teaching of his special art. Crafts, memoir, and creative nonfiction have an ever-growing audience throughout the United States.
