The author shows, by illustration, some of the attractive ways in which paper was used as the main surface on publishers' bindings between 1800 and 1900. The examples are drawn from Britain, France and the USA. Over half of the 200 illustrations are in colour, and in nearly all cases they are reproduced for the first time since their original publication.
