Click image to enlargeFound this little gem in a book recently. The text originally appeared in Modern Bookbinding Practically Considered : A Lecture Read Before the Grolier Club of New York, March 25, 1885 with Additions and New Illustrations by William Matthews and was published by the Grolier Club in a limited edition of 300 copies in 1889. There is no printing or publishing history present on the Notice.
The New York Times actually published the excerpt above in the Saturday Review of Books and Art section on December 23, 1899!
