Two photos of a 5-volume set of books on a shelf. Each image shows 19th century marbling on volumes now in 20th century bindings.
A wooden library shelf holding 15 small notebooks bound in brown leather.
A split image showing a black and cream swirling pattern at left, and a black and white crocodile-skin pattern at right. Both are book covers.
A recurring design of purple lines and green leaves on a cloth background, in an Art Nouveau style.
This week's encounters of the bookish kind. #SpecialCollections #NaturalHistoryMuseum #Bookbindings #MarbledDesigns #Endpapers #BlueSkyBooks #Shelfie

A hand holding two books on fungi with covers of decorative paper. Title at left is 'Edible Fungi', at right is 'Poisonous Fungi'.
Beautiful AND informative. That's how we like 'em here @nhmlibraryarchives.bsky.social (London: Penguin, 1943 & 1945) #Bookbindings #Fungi #NaturalHistoryMuseum

I suspect that, when making this, my enthusiasm for #bookbinding and #bookbindings triumphed over snappy post length...

We're not asking you to *judge* a book by its cover (this one has some lovely artwork inside), just that you don't look past it! #Bookbinding #SpecialBooks #NaturalHistoryMuseum #Bookbindings #Doublure #FineBinding

First page of one of the ledgers listing transactions and orders for bookbinders. It contains the title ‘Livre des relieurs’ which is surrounded by all kinds of pen trials and the dates 1591 and 1597
I’m doing research on #bookbindings & Antwerp bookbinders in connection with the Officina Plantiniana at the moment, & the ledgers documenting the printing office’s orders & transactions for these craftsmen are treasure troves for all kinds of objects… /1
