About the author

Cyril Davenport

A British librarian and art historian who turned a deep knowledge of bookbinding into a lifetime of elegant, practical scholarship. His work linked the worlds of libraries, craftsmanship, and design, and it still appeals to readers curious about how beautiful books are made.
