University of Iowa Libraries Bookbinding Models
Digital Collection

Case binding teaching models  

Bookbinding models are used to exemplify and demonstrate the various mechanisms of books. They range from practical to experimental and may reproduce traditional bookbinding techniques of various cultures. Bill Anthony, past Conservator of the University of Iowa Libraries, was known for his replicas or models of historical bindings. Works created by Anthony and his students form the core of this digital collection, which includes a wide range of binding techniques; historic, modern, wooden board, and monastic binding.
