19th Century Bookbinding at the San Francisco Public Library
Channel: San Francisco Public Library
Date: 2014-05-01

The Book Boys, John Demerritt and Dominic Riley, channel the spirits of bookbinders from the 19th Century. After a brief history lesson, we see a hands-on narrated demonstration starting at 06:30.  This program was recorded at the Old Main Library in June of 1995. Learn more about the Marjorie G. and Carl W. Stern Book Arts & Special Collections Center - now housed in the "new" Main Library! - by visiting them on the Sixth Floor.
