> collectors of antiquarian books.
> His main focus in book collecting was books about books and the book arts
> and especially books related
> to the history of bookbinding. Randeria's collection is especially rich in
> finely bound editions of important
> bookbinding literature and examples of fine bindings.

> Alfred Brazier, who is a bookbinder and retired senior lecturer of The
> London College of Printing. He is also
> a Freeman of The Stationers Company and Freeman of The City of London.
> Brazier started his own bindery
> in 1958 and his collection is a wonderful example of a practical
> bookbinder's reference library but also
> includes examples of his own binding skill.
