Intended for bookbinders and conservators of library and archival material and for those working in related fields, such as bibliography and librarianship, this dictionary contains definitions for the nomenclature of bookbinding and the conservation of archival material, illustrations of bookbinding equipment and processes, and biographical vignettes of notable binders. Details of the history of bookbinding and discussions of materials used are included, where applicable, in the definitions. In addition, definitions provide answers to questions, e.g., the best treatment for leather bindings, and useful items of information, e.g., the standard sizes of paper. It is noted that the definitions were drawn, whenever possible, from the most authoritative sources available. Sources for definitions are indicated by numbers which refer to the 373-item bibliography included at the end of the dictionary. A series of 13 color photographs of various bindings and endpapers is also included. (ESR)

British librarian Stokes (1915-95) edited the three most recent editions of his colleague Arundell Esdaile's (1880-1956) guide for literary students, student librarians, and embryo book collectors. He assumes nothing at all beyond interest, and carries the explanation to the point that readers can turn to more advanced texts. He explains what bibliography is not by defining it, but offering examples of the various activities it subsumes. Most of the editions have been published by Allen and Unwin. c. Book News Inc.
