TIME: 6 hours.
MATERIALS: Newsboard, vellum, and paper for memorandum pad, or
calendar, or pad to be mounted.
We shall now begin to deal with materials that are more exclusively
employed in bookbinding work. The simple articles considered at first
are not books; but because the processes involved and the materials
used will be used later in the more difficult work of binding a real
book, they are made a part of this course.
The wise teacher will become somewhat familiar with handling the
required materials before attempting to give instruction. It is
recommended that two or more models from each problem be made by the
teacher before selecting one for the class.
The articles described in Problem III (See Plate VII) consist of a
foundation of a single piece of newsboard, covered back and front with
a bookbinding cloth.
