The Restoration of Leather Bindings
The premise of The Restoration of Leather Bindings (first edition, 1972) is that restoration of old and worn bookbindings is more than a technical skill. Rather, it is a specialized craft that calls for an understanding of historical methods, specific technical terms, and aesthetic styles in order to be developed fully. This second edition continues from this premise and acts as an extensive instruction manual for those who practice or wish to practice leather bookbinding restoration.
Adventures in Bookbinding
Each project in this book combines bookbinding with a specific craft such as quilting, jewelry making, or polymer clay, and offers levels of expertise: basic, novice, and expert.

ABC of Leather Bookbinding
This work is an illustrated manual that shows step-by-step the art and science of fine leather bookbinding. The author learned the ancient craft from one of England's foremost binders, Alfred de Sauty. In this informative work, he takes the reader through the intricacies of traditional leather binding. Every step is illustrated, along with a short, clear explanation. To lessen confusion, Lhotka doesn't explain all the different ways a procedure may be done; he concentrates on his way, as taught by de Sauty. Edward Lhotka began bookbinding in 1924 apprenticed to Alfred de Sauty. During the next 48 years, Lhotka rose from journeyman to assistant manager of the fine binding department of the famous R.R. Donnelley & Sons. As a teacher, he has taught hundreds the fine art of hand binding after hours at Donnelley's.
Fine Bookbinding
The purpose of this book is to guide the reader through the sequence of operations involved in creating a book bound in leather, or a fine binding. The author defines a fine binding as a book fully covered in leather, with leather-jointed endpapers, gilt edges, and leather doublures. Although a basic knowledge of bookbinding terms and techniques is assumed, this book is meant for both novice and experienced bookmakers.The book is intended to be used as an active guide during the process of fine binding. It is arranged into sixteen sections, listing the sequence of operations, beginning with preliminary work and ending with preparing and putting in leather doublures. Each section includes appropriately numbered instructions allowing the user to find his or her place in the sequence of operations with a reference for what step is next. There are also numbered explanatory sections that include a rationale (why you do it) and technique (how you do it). The work includes close to 300 black and white illustrations, four appendices, and a bibliography.
