Bookbindings & Other Bibliophily: Essays in Honour of Anthony HobsonFor over 40 years, Anthony Hobson has occupied a commanding position in the world of books. He ran Sotheby's book department for some 20 years and since then has established an independent reputation with a series of studies of bookbinding and the history of books generally in Renaissance Italy. On the occasion of his 70th birthday a group of friends honoured his achievements with a collection of essays, some published in 1991 in The Book Collector, but the major part in this book. |
