die ground heretofore unappropriated and
scarcely touched by publications which
represent cognate industries and yet do not
attempt to supply all OF the requisites as to
technical information in bookmaking, for
which there is and must be demand. The
intermediate stages OF book construction,
from the raw material to the finished pro-
duct of the printers and binders art, will
be represented in such form as to interest
all who may care to read or learn. Sug-
gestion and opinion, originality and inven-
tion, instruction and investigation find
room in the columns of The Bookmaker,
and the concurrence of all who wish to
attain success in bookmaking is sought to
enable this journal to make itself useful to
the greatest number to whom it can give
aid and information. It is valuable pub
lication for the craft. Howard Lockwood,
