(Bookbinding) Bennett, Stuart. TRADE BOOKBINDING IN THE BRITISH ISLES, 1660- 1800. New Castle and London: Oak Knoll Press and the British Library, 2004, small 4to., cloth, dust jacket. 176 pages. ISBN 9781584561309. $85.00 $63.75 First edition. This book is the first illustrated guide to this complex and controversial subject. In 1930, in The Evolution of Publishers' Binding Styles, Michael Sadleir declared that "the bookseller-publisher of the decades from 1730 to 1770 issued his books either in loose quires, or stitched, or a most in a plain paper wrapper." This view is still generally accepted. Bennett, however, presents new documentary and visual evidence that books were predominantly sold ready-bound in sheep, calf, and goat as well as boards and wrappers.
