“The story of The Lost
Gutenbergs is in some ways similar to a Dan Brown
thriller, though in this case a true story. The exciting events
leading up to finding the massive cache of Gutenberg Bibles is
intoxicating. The decision to bind these massive volumes in a
style reminiscent of the 15th Century, complete with wooden
boards, is awe inspiring. To attempt this undertaking is really
a remarkable achievement in this day and age. Seeing the
finished product is very impressive and this book will be
important reading for any aspiring binder or conservator who may
be faced with repairing or restoring an original Gutenberg in
years ahead. A bookbinding tour de force.”
