American Decorated Publishers'
Bindings 1872-1929
Collected and Described by Richard Minsky
Volume 2
If you are planning to order this book, you will save substantially
by taking advantage of the special discount offered ARLIS members.
Deferred billing is available as well. This is a limited edition (100
copies) artist's book as well as a monograph on an important and
neglected field of art, seen through an artist's eyes. It is beautifully
printed in full color with images of 300 great covers from the golden age
of publishers' bindings.
Even if you don't want the book, take a look at the cover I made for it,
which uses a combination of techniques spanning 500 years to achieve an
extraordinary effect.

The panel on the Limited Edition is the same as the one on the Deluxe
Edition shown on the inside front cover of the ARLIS Conference Program.
The Deluxe Edition is sold out.
If you do not have Volume 1, you can apply this
discount to the acquisition of both volumes.
I am offering ARLIS members a 20% discount on either the Limited Edition
or the MAM-A Gold Archive CD-ROM edition of this catalog if ordered
before April 30, 2009. [The CD-ROM is included with the
Limited Edition]
If your library has no acquisition funds remaining in this
fiscal year's budget, I will invoice your order after the new fiscal year
begins, if it is on or before July 1, and you still get the discount if
the order is placed before April 30.
Details of the editions are at

To get the discount, do not use the online shopping cart,
which does not accept discounts. Send me an e-mail, phone me, or
use the purchase order form at the bottom of that web page, noting on the
"comments" line that you are an ARLIS librarian. Also use that
line to let me know if you want invoicing deferred until your new fiscal
year begins.
Best regards,
Richard
