at the
New Hampshire Antiquarian Bookseller’s Association meeting

The Harcourt Bindery, a division of Acme Bookbinding, will be represented by Sam Ellenport at the New Hampshire Antiquarian Bookseller’s Association meeting on April 16^th.  Sam will be the guest speaker at the Association’s spring meeting.  His presentation will be “Bookbinding Design: Bottlenecks and Breakthroughs.”  The talk will range over 6 centuries, showing how structural changes in bookbinding led to the creation of designed “art” bindings of the 20^th century.  Sam’s romp through bookbinding history will be accented by a series of colorful slides from medieval books to work recently done at The Harcourt Bindery.
