When making this Bookbinding DVD series master bookbinder Peter Goodwin kept libraries, rare book departments and special collections in the forefront of his mind. Goodwin who was Bindery Manager for The Auckland Central Library for 14 years always wished that he had a video he could play to the public to show how a book is bound. This license allows libraries and institutions to do this in addition to normal services. THE ACCOUNT BOOK In this DVD master bookbinder Peter Goodwin shows in detail how to make an account book or a "springback" ledger, as it is known in the trade. It is a style of binding that allows a book to lie flat so you can write right up to the margins. In olden times this was the usual binding for stationery books. Springback ledgers are the test of a bookbinder's craft. This type of binding is considered challenging and is usually avoided by lesser mortals as "too hard." However master bookbinder Peter Goodwin is well up to the task. As a young apprentice in Nottingham, Peter Goodwin and his master, "Harry", turned out 300 of this type of binding every three weeks. With his no nonsense attitude Peter Goodwin shows how to make one of these difficult books. The secrets of the springback are revealed for all to admire. The split boards, the stippling, the tab and the springback tube are all tackled with skill and good humor. Filmed by TV producer, Janette Heffernan, in the bindery.
