The Goldbeaters of Mandalay: Hand Papermaking in Burma By Elaine Koretsky and Donna Koretsky Based on 5 expeditions to Burma by Donna Koretsky and Elaine Koretsky, it is an account of the remarkable bamboo paper made for use in the goldbeating process, plus other amazing papers using rice straw, mulberry bark or waste paper as the pulp, for paper made entirely by hand. The book is a "must" for papermakers who are interested in paper history or who want to learn the processes of totally using hand methods in their work. The text narrates the making of 4 very different types of paper, using 3 different fibers. This Special Edition contains a whole folder of handmade Burmese papers, gold foil, and the fabrics used in mould-making. The regular edition has one paper sample.
