19th Century Bookbinding at the San Francisco Public Library

The Book Boys, John Demerritt and Dominic Riley, channel the spirits of bookbinders from the 19th Century. After a brief history lesson, we see a handson narrated demonstration starting at 06:30. This program was recorded at the Old Main Library in June of 1995. Learn more about the Marjorie G. and Carl W. Stern Book Arts Special Collections Center now housed in the new Main Library by visiting them on the Sixth Floor, or online at:
