Board Attachment is a practical guide that details the sequence of operations withing the bookbinding process that securely attached the protective covers, or boards, to the front and back of the text block.
The processes include 'cased-in', 'library style', and 'laced-on board' binding techniques. The methods presented are designed to be accessible to all varieties of bookbinder, and a full equipment list is included at the start of the book.

This title is the second in a new series of concise guides covering fundamental techniques and essential knowledge in bookbinding and book conservation. These guides are intended to support independent practice or serve as teaching resources within bookbinding and conservation programs. The Bench Publications is the brainchild of bookbinder Nicky Oliver and book conservator Karen Vidler.
