<p>One of the leading designer bookbinders in Great Britain, Arthur Johnson has used his extensive knowledge of book construction to provide a reference manual for the repair and reconstruction of cloth bindings. Each process is explained in precise detail with clear text in order to give the worker confidence in this exacting skill. Using more than 90 illustrations, drawn by the author himself, Johnson explains his procedures for sound repair that he has developed over many decades. Johnson's ability to instruct and teach bookbinders, conservationists, and students of binding history is exceptional. He has written four other manuals on binding that are considered classics and The Repair of Cloth Bindings is no exception. Included in this work is a brief but comprehensive history of cloth as a binding material from its early use in handwork to complete automation.</p>

<p>Skyfire is an historical novel set between 1819 in Ireland and 1860 in Chicago. Seamus, a young fugitive from the Old World, comes to the New World to form a shipping dynasty by way of the lessons learned while digging canals in Ohio, trapping in the north woods, becoming a married man in a Pottowatomi village, and working for the people who found a city. The lessons he learns through love, friendship, and betrayal help to make him into the kind of man who is respected, admired, and loved not only by his sons but by everyone who knows him.</p>
