An Introduction to Gold
Finishing
This
second book in "The Craftsman's Guide" series is the first to
provide a comprehensive guide to this essential art. A step-by-step
path from the basic equipment, techniques and procedures through to
the completion of a "full gilt back." Thirteen chapters cover basic
lettering, typeholders, marking up, template preparation, gold leaf,
the use of finishing tools, and the correction of faults. This is a
book for every binder from beginner to professional -- and
authoritative and practical combination of information and
instruction. 107 pages, illustrated.
