Books are among the most precious of our civilization's achievements, and they have been prized and collected since antiquity. It is no wonder, then, that for centuries the most painstaking care has been taken to bind books with sumptuous, finely worked materials. Now, for the first time, the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.--one of the most important repositories of rare books in the United States--presents a selection of its finest bookbindings, from the 15th century to the present.
