This reference set of binding models is based on Karen Hanmer's popular workshop "Biblio tech: reverse engineering historical and modern binding structures". The models remain uncovered and only partially completed so methods of board attachment, sewing, spine lining, and endsheet construction are visible. Each model measures approximately 13 x 9 x 1 cm.

Accompanying 45-page illustrated booklet outlines key structural features of each binding and provides numerous references for further study.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 43-44).
