Abstract
Introduction to the 1980 Garland reprint edition of James B. Nicholson's Manual of the Art of Bookbinding, often cited as the first American manual of the craft. Nicholson (1820-1901), apprenticed with Weaver & Warnock, Philadelphia, in 1848 partnered with James Pawson to form the bookbinding firm Pawson & Nicholson, Bookbinders, (1848-1911). He was a dedicated Odd Fellow, becoming Seventeenth Grand Sire of the Sovereign Grand Lodge (i.e. chief executive of the national organization) in 1862.
