Arthur W. Johnson's The Thames and Hudson Manual of Book Binding is an illustrated technical guide to traditional Western bookbinding. First published in the Thames and Hudson manual series and issued in editions including the 1981 paperback, it addresses binding as both a durable structure and a visual craft. Johnson, a British designer-bookbinder, organizes the subject around the practical sequence by which loose printed sections become a finished volume. The book covers the workshop foundation of equipment, hand tools, adhesives, thread, covering materials, and papers, then moves through preparation, sewing, shaping the spine, attaching boards, covering, edge treatment, and decorative finishing. Its illustrations serve an instructional purpose by identifying tools and clarifying processes, while examples of historic and modern bindings place technical decisions within a wider craft tradition. This is not a project book centered on quick contemporary formats. It is a sustained reference for understanding the methods, vocabulary, workmanship, and aesthetic standards of conventional hand binding.
