4to. [viii], 151, [1] pp. Color frontispiece, plates (some color or folding), addenda and corrigenda tipped-in. Green gilt-decorated cloth, top edge gilt. Occidental bookplate. Near fine. Limited edition of 215 numbered copies, SIGNED by the author. RARE BOOKBINDING HISTORY STUDY BY THE DOYEN OF HIS FIELD. Hobson, Geoffrey Dudley (1882 1949), historian of bookbindings, "Hobson was described as the art of bookbinding's 'finest historian' (TLS). While most writers on bindings in all countries had concentrated upon the work of their own lands, and usually that of a single period, Hobson developed a wide knowledge of western European bindings, although it was strongest on the Romanesque period, on English sixteenth-century panel-stamps, and on the gold-tooled bindings of France in the sixteenth century and of England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries." EXTRA POSTAGE WILL APPLY.
