Imagine walking into an old secondhand bookstore; a smell hits your senses, perhaps bringing childhood memories to the fore. That is the smell of books breathing on the shelves. "The Perfume of Books" takes you on a bookbinding journey through the centuries.
What makes up a book? The history of bookbinding involves much more than materials and skills. The hard work that has gone into putting the book together remains a mystery to most of us. Binders today still use 400 year old techniques, just as potters or weavers may do.
Within the 1500 images in this book you will explore the evolution and diversity of bookbinding that few have been privileged to see. This journey will show you not only changes in what binders developed to keep information together in a comprehensive form, but also in how the interior of the book changed: how paragraphing changed over time and how the title page developed into the format we know today.
This is book 1 of the Booksleuth Series

So cute and priced well!
Color: Black, Size: 9-10 Years
These were so cute, easy to wear! Especially for parking days. Good to go wherever! My girls loved then! They were just long enough for our preference. The material is the athletic type and fairly thick! No complaints there!

Check size chart
Color: Blue, Size: 9-10 Years
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because sizing is WAY off. I originally ordered the 7/8 for my 5 year old but it was about a size too small. I went back and ordered a 9/10 and it fits almost perfectly with a tiny bit of room to grow. Other than that, the outfits are so cute, functional and easy to clean! Perfect for the girlies who love a good romp but wanna look like a princess while doing it!

So cute!
Color: Pink, Size: 7-8 Years
I bought this for my daughter to match my outfit. The shorts are not attached to the dress so bathroom trips are easy. The fabric is soft and it's such a cute dress! It's not too short and fits my 8 year old perfectly. Dress fabric is thick but breathable.

Soo cute!
Color: Red, Size: 4-5T
Absolutely adorable- I love how the shorts have pockets. My daughter says she’s just like me and it’s so cute. I will be getting more in different colors for her for the summer.
