From the dust jacket: "McLean shows, by illustration, some of the attractive ways in which paper was used as the main surface on publishers' bindings between 1800 and 1900… Over half of the 200 illustrations are in colour, and in nearly all cases they are reproduced for the first time since their original publication… McLean's valuable historical introduction makes this an informative guide to the subject as well as a reference tool. The colorful illustrations make it a real delight for any reader.". First U.S. Edition. Oversize Hardcover. New/New. 112pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
