This guide offers a detailed treatment of the use of adhesives in bookbinding. It guides the reader through machine settings, substrates to be bonded and adhesive types, as well as providing a survey of unsewn, one-shot, multi-coat, burst and case binding. A feature new to this edition is the inclusion of guidance on the running of (PUR) Reactive Hotmelts and PUR book testing. A glossary of bookbinding terminology is included and the text is supported by clear illustrations. Another addition is the section on fault finding and correction.
