Title: Very useful for beginners
Review: Manly Miles Banister has written two books on bookbinding. The older one, Pictoral Manual of Bookbinding, 1958, is also a very good, illustrated guide. Despite the fact that Banister was an "amateur" bookbinder, the significance of his publications lies in that he shows with drwaings and pictures how to make your own tools: various presses, plow, sewing frame... An overall good book for bookbinders, professionals and amateurs.
