"This is the first major study of the sudden flowering of the art of bookbinding in France at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century-one of the richest and most exciting periods in the history of the decorative arts. The sixty years between 1880 and 1940 produced bookbinding's greatest modern masters and many of its most original and accomplished craftsmen and craftswomen. Spanning both Art Nouveau and Art Deco-the first organic and sinuous, the second bright, angular, and self consciously modern-it was a stellar period for ornamentation and design of all types. These custom-made bindings-more than 200 of which are reproduced here in glorious color illustrations-were created as precious works of art for the private libraries of wealthy bibliophiles."
