Description
Edited by G.D. Hobson. 130 fine reproductions (12 in gold & color) & 46 facsimiles in the text. Title printed in red, black, & gold. Large thick 4to, orig. cloth (endpapers foxed as always), red morocco lettering piece on spine, t.e.g. London: Privately Printed at the Chiswick Press, 1940. Limited to 180 numbered copies, signed by Major Abbey and G.D. Hobson. This sumptuously produced catalogue, the only authoritative survey of the history of bookbinding in the British Isles, is especially valuable on account of the wealth of fresh information given in the detailed descriptions of a magnificent series of specimens, representative of the various styles and periods. With twelve appendices and four indices. Very nice copy. Presentation copy, inscribed by Major Abbey to John Sparrow, Warden of All Souls College, Oxford, dated March 1954, with Sparrow’s bookplate. ❧ Breslauer, The Uses of Bookbinding Literature, p. 28–“Hobson’s method was to make lists of bindings which had the same tools in common; if the binder of one or several was known, he could attribute the others to him; if the workshop was not known, he baptized it with a sobriquet, such as ‘Queens’ Binder’; all this required an immense amount of historical and archival research, the examination of the holdings of permanent libraries and private collections, and of the illustrations in books on bindings and auction and booksellers’ catalogues.”.

Description
S. l. (Los Angeles, CA): California Fruit Growers Exchange, 1932. Softcover. First edition thus; 5 3/4 x 4 1/4; pp. 1-12; chromolithographed wraps; small nicks to tips of spine and corners; small closed cut to bottom edge of front wrap; illustrated with b & w drawings and two tables; very good or better condition. A charming, coloring book for children, it told the story of Betty and Billy visiting their Uncle Jim, who lives on a ranch in California and grows orange trees. Kids were supposed to read the story and color the illustrations with crayons and water colors. The booklet also contained height and weight charts for keeping records of the development of its little owners and a list of good health rules. A sad fact of the times was that the prevalent reality of the California citriculture was that it completely relied on immigrant, minority groups, and more specifically Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican workers, while literature and art portrayed the industry as always and only involving white people, including the front wrap illustration of the current book, which showed a white father and his two children gazing contentedly down rows of orange trees.
