little way between them, and secure the sides of the pages the whole
length: I would recommend to the compositor to cut his bolts square
at the ends, and of such a length that they shall go into the measure
of his composing stick easily; he will thus prevent the folios or any
letters at the extremities of the head lines falling down, as well as
the bolts binding against the gutters.
BOOK HOUSE.
A printing office in which the printing of books is the chief
business carried on: in many houses in London the materials for this
purpose are most abundant; but at the same time they very rarely keep
any great assortment of large type for jobs. _See_ JOB HOUSE.
BOOK PRESS.
The Book Press, in the warehouse department, used for pressing books
previously to their delivery, is the common screw press with a
perpendicular screw, screwed down by means of an iron bar; it is also
used for pressing paper when wetted, for the purpose of improving
its condition previously to the process of printing, and also in
cylindrical or machine printing to cause the paper, and particularly
large sheets, to lie flat, which are otherwise apt to wrinkle in
being carried round the cylinders upon a flat surface. In large
establishments Bramah’s hydrostatic press is generally used for these
purposes, as being much more powerful and expeditious both in its use
and in its effect. _See_ HYDROSTATIC PRESS.
BOOKS.
25 Hen. 8. c 15. intituled, “An Act for Printers and Binders of
Books.”
“‘Whereas by the Provision of a Statute made in the first Year
of the Reign of King _Richard_ the Third, it was provided in the
same Act, That all Strangers repairing into this Realm, might
lawfully bring into the said Realm printed and written Books,
to sell at their Liberty and Pleasure; (2) by Force of which
Provision there hath come to this Realm sithen the making of
the same, a marvellous Number at printed Books, and daily doth;
and the Cause of the making of the same Provision seemeth to be,
for that there were but few Books, and few Printers within this
Realm at that Time, which could well exercise and occupy the said
Science and Craft of Printing; nevertheless, sithen the making of
the said Provision, many of this Realm, being the King’s natural
Subjects, have given them so diligently to learn and exercise
the said Craft of Printing, that at this Day there be within
this Realm a great Number cunning and expert in the said Science
or Craft of Printing, as able to exercise the said Craft in all
Points, as any Stranger in any other Realm or Country: (3) And
furthermore, where there be a great Number of the King’s Subjects
within this Realm, which live by the Craft and Mystery of Binding
of Books, and that there be a great Multitude well expert in the
same, yet all this notwithstanding, there are divers Persons that
bring from beyond the Sea great Plenty of printed Books, not only
in the _Latin_ Tongue, but also in our maternal _English_ Tongue,
some bound in Boards, some in Leather, and some in Parchment,
and them sell by retail, whereby many of the King’s Subjects,
being Binders of Books, and having no other Faculty wherewith to
get their Living, be destitute of Work, and like to be undone,
except some Reformation herein be had:’ Be it therefore enacted
by the King our Sovereign Lord, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and the Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by
Authority of the same, That the said Proviso, made in the first
Year of the said King Richard the Third, from the Feast of the
_Nativity_ of our Lord God next coming, shall be void and of none
Effect.
s. 4. “Provided alway, and be it enacted by the Authority
aforesaid, That if any of the said Printers or Sellers of printed
Books, inhabited within this Realm, at any Time hereafter happen
in such wise to inhance or increase the Prices of any such
printed Books, in Sale or Binding, at too high and unreasonable
Prices, in such wise as Complaint be made thereof unto the King’s
Highness, or unto the Lord Chancellor, Lord Treasurer, or any
of the Chief Justices of the one Bench or of the other; that
then the same Lord Chancellor, Lord Treasurer, and two Chief
Justices, or two of any of them, shall have Power and Authority
to enquire thereof, as well by the Oaths of twelve honest and
discreet Persons, as otherwise by due Examination by their
Discretions. (2) And after the same inhancing and increasing of
the said Prices of the said Books and Binding shall be so found
by the said twelve Men, or otherwise by Examination of the said
Lord Chancellor, Lord Treasurer and Justices, or two of them;
that then the same Lord Chancellor, Lord Treasurer and Justices,
or two of them at the least, from Time to Time shall have Power
and Authority to reform and redress such inhancing of the Prices
of printed Books from Time to Time by their Discretions, and to
limit Prices as well of the Books as for the Binding of them; (3)
and over that the Offender or Offenders thereof being convict
by the Examination of the same Lord Chancellor, Lord Treasurer
and two Justices, or two of them, or otherwise, shall lose and
forfeit for every Book by them sold, whereof the Price shall be
inhanced for the Book or Binding thereof, three Shillings four
Pence; the one Half thereof shall be to the King’s Highness, and
the other Half to the Parties grieved that will complain upon the
same in Manner and Form before rehearsed.”
(_Sections_ 2. _&_ 3. _Repealed by_ 3 _Geo._ 4. _c._ 41. _s._ 2.)
By the Act 3 & 4 Will. 4. c. 52. s. 58. Books are absolutely
prohibited to be imported for Sale, being “first composed
or written or printed in the United Kingdom, and printed or
reprinted in any other Country, except Books not reprinted in the
United Kingdom within Twenty Years; or being Parts of Collections
the greater parts of which had been composed or written abroad.”
By the “Table of New Duties, 1834,” in 4 & 5 Will. 4. c. 89.,
the Customs Duties Inwards are for “Books in the Foreign living
Languages, being of Editions printed in or since the Year One
thousand eight hundred and one, bound or unbound, the cwt. 2_l._
10_s._”
2 & 3 Vict. c. 23. s. 1. Drawbacks on Excise Duty. “For every
Pound Weight Avoirdupois of printed Books in perfect and complete
Sets, or, if periodical Publications, in perfect Parts or
Numbers, and of blank, plain, or ruled Account Books, whether
bound or unbound, made of or printed or ruled on Paper made and
charged with Duty in the United Kingdom, and which shall be
exported as Merchandise, a Drawback of One Penny Halfpenny.”
_See_ PAPER.
BOOKS. (Ireland.) 4 Geo. 4. c 72. “An Act to repeal the several
Duties and Drawbacks of Customs, chargeable and allowable in
_Ireland_, on the Importation and Exportation of certain Foreign
and Colonial Goods, Wares, and Merchandize, and to grant other
Duties and Drawbacks in lieu thereof, equal to the Duties and
Drawbacks chargeable and allowable thereon in _Great Britain_.”

Books, printed, or Manuscripts, _viz._ £ _s. d._
---- half-bound, or in any way bound, the Cwt. 6 10 0
---- unbound, the Cwt. 5 0 0
No Drawback.
The same Duties from the East Indies.
BOOKING.
The act of putting the different gatherings of a work together, in
the warehouse, so as to make complete books. This is done by laying
the gatherings in order upon a table, and, commencing with the first,
taking them up in order; by adopting this method they are gathered
under hand, as it may be termed, the succession being placed at
the bottom as the person proceeds. The reverse of this method, is,
however, to be preferred; to commence at the end of the work, and
as the gathering is held in the hand, and rests on the arm, to lay
the others upon it as they are taken up, so that in this way the
commencement of the book will be the last to be gathered.
