Description: "Finishing Tools follows 2004's Rules for Bookbinders and 2014's Three Lectures. It catalogs 94 unique finishing tools which Fritz fabricated for tooling in blind and gold on his design bindings. Each tool is represented by a description, measurements, and a scanned image of the tool's impression. There will also be digital photographs of the tools, of the electric tooling station that Fritz used, and of a paper tooling pattern used on Fritz's design binding of Gordon Craig's Paris Diary. The catalog proper is preceded by two essays dealing with Fritz's work, one by Professor Hans Halbey and one by Fritz himself. The essays were published together in the March 1990 issue of the German bibliophile journal Philobiblon."--Prospectus for Fritz Eberhardt's Finishing Tools and Technique.
