                A Visit to the American Bookbinders Museum

                September 18, 2012 by Jeff McRitchie

                Today’s post is written by MyBinding.com Marketing Specialist Tarragon Agostini.

                Part of my job working in the marketing department at MyBinding.com is continuing to learn more about our products and industry. So a couple months ago, out of curiosity, I typed the term “bookbinding museum” into the world’s favorite search engine. You can imagine my surprise when it actually returned a legitimate result: The American Bookbinders Museum. As I was perusing the museum’s site, I was even more surprised to discover that it’s located in San Francisco. Guess who happened to have a family trip planned to San Francisco in the weeks to come? That’s right, me. To say this discovery was serendipitous is perhaps an understatement. Nay, it was fate.

                Fast forward several weeks. My family and I are standing in Taurus Bookbindery at 2736 Sixteenth Street in San Francisco. We’ve just met Tim James, who is a book binder by trade and the driving force behind the bookbinding museum. We walk around the corner from Tim’s shop to the museum. He unlocks the door and lets us in.

                Now, let’s get one thing straight from the beginning. This museum is not about the history of book printing; rather, this museum is about book binding. This distinction, I would come to learn, is important.

                The museum itself is made up of two rooms filled with presses, guillotines, binding machines, hand tools, and photographs. The first things you notice are the big pieces of equipment. For instance, just past the wooden hand sewing binding frame, a large cast iron press catches your eye. The press, we’re told, is an English 1832 Imperial Arming Press used for embossing or stamping. Tim explains and demonstrates how the press and its tools work.

                Tim then moves on to a Hickok board shear from 1869, a massive wooden apparatus. If you can think of a carpenter’s workbench with a vice and plane all in one, it might give you an idea of this impressive machine. Now, I don’t want to give the whole experience all away, so I will just say that Tim continues to move from machine to machine, explaining in great detail the inner workings of machines like guillotine paper cutters and bookbinding sewing machines. As we move about the museum, we also see diagrams and pictures on the walls of binderies and the people who worked in them, which Tim brings this to life with his words.

                One of the fascinating facts I didn’t realize was that San Francisco once had the largest printing industry in the West. San Francisco’s binderies were responsible for making account books for shopkeepers, bankers, hotels, and more. During an earthquake and fire in 1906, however, 30 of these binderies were burned and damaged, if not destroyed completely. Thankfully, in time, most of these binderies were able to rebuild.

                To say Tim is passionate about the Bookbinders Museum wouldn’t be an exaggeration. In fact, he mentions his hope to one day mold the museum into a living, breathing live-history piece where people of all ages can see these tools and history come to life. This is the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

                For more information about the American Bookbinders Museum, please check out their website at www.bookbindingmuseum.com. And if you happen to find yourself in the San Francisco area, I highly recommend taking the time to visit this wonderful little piece of American history. Tell Tim that Tarragon sent you.

                Do it Yourself Publication Ideas

                June 27, 2010 by Jeff McRitchie Leave a Comment

                fastback-model-95-maPerhaps you have ideas about publications you would like to bring to life. Like most would-be publishers, you probably believe that fancy equipment and oversized production facilities are a must. You could not be further from the truth. Self-publishing is possible. Even better, self-publishing is simple and affordable. All you need is a tabletop and the right equipment. The specific type of equipment you will need will depend on the type of document you would like to publish.

                For many self-publishers, FastBack binding provides superior results for hardback and paperback books. In just a few minutes, you can teach yourself to use this machine to make beautifully bound documents in a variety of colors. This style works on documents ranging from three to 350 pages. When bound, FastBack documents lie flat for easy use and reference. You can even purchase components to emboss foil designs and text onto the covers. This is a premium solution with a premium price tag.

                Another option that also provides that perfect bound look is thermal binding. This style binds your publication using a one piece cover that is adhered to the book using a strip of heat-activated glue. These machines are a very affordable option ranging in price from $100-$150 for machines that can bind one book at a time. Not bad at all for perfect binding. With a price like that, you can pay for the machine with just a few sales of your self-published books.

                Depending on your needs, color coil binding may be what you are looking for. You have seen this binding type on church cookbooks, workbooks, and school directories. Equipment associated with this type of binding is available in a huge range of prices and capabilities. One of the advantages of this type of binding is that the publications created can be turned 360 degrees. A nice feature of color coil binding is the degree of customization. You can choose custom covers and colored spines. You can even get the coils printed.

                Plastic comb binding is similar to color coil binding in appearance, but it looks more like a comb (hence the name). This makes for easy photocopying and reading. This method also allows your publication to lie flat when opened. You can bind publications ranging from half an inch to two inches. Like spiral coil binding, plastic comb binding is very economical and easy.

                With so many affordable self-publication options now available, you can get started on your project now. Some documents people frequently choose to self-publish include:

                Collections of essays and poems
                Family histories
                Biographies
                Novels
                Scrapbooks
                Portfolios
                Cookbooks
                Graphic novel and comic books
                Chapbooks
                User guides

                Think about the powerful impression your book can make by virtue of its professional binding. The greater the visual impact your publication has, the higher the price tag you can set for it. Consider starting your own press today using one of the binding methods outlined in this article.
