"Mr. Brenni has done a great service to those who study binding and
printing, providing sources for extensive reading. ... Book
Printing includes 1021 entries, not all the publications on this
subject by any means, but a carefully-balanced selection of some of
the best, most informative works. A list of printers, typographers,
calligraphers and book designers also provides useful information.
... [This bibliography is] well-organized, extensive and
informative and would make [a] useful addition to a book arts
library."-Book Arts Review
?In this bibliography, bookbinding comprises anything that covers
the pages of a codex book or the form of the book most familiar to
us. It begins with reference works and continues with such topics
as bookbinding design, materials, machines, and tools, decoration,
a chronological history, history by individual countries, care and
repair of bindings. Checklists of titles are included for libraries
that may wish to improve their collection. An alphabetical list of
some 550 binders, art designers, and decorators provides brief
biographical information and augments those names in the
bibliography itself.?-Journal of Academic Librarianship
