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

Runs large, not slim fit
Size: Medium, Color: Green
The shirt definitely runs large like all the other reviews say. I usually wear a large, but the medium fit much better. The shirt is definitely not slim fit though.

Great fit and look
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Husband loved it! Great fit and he said it was comfortable. Can be worn untucked or tucked in pants. He wore it with jeans and a blazer untucked for a graduation party and looked perfect for the occasion.

Tight in Chest for Broad Chested Men
Size: XX-Large, Color: Green
Quality is okay but not great. The biggest problem was the size. It was too tight for my broad chest. Ended up giving it away. I bought some similar shirts from a different supplier that I didn’t have issues with.

NOT SLIM FIT.
Size: Large, Color: White
NOT A SLIM FIT. Misleading. White is off-white, cream. Not neutral, bright white. Decent material. Ok quality. Textured, thin but not too thin. Dressy, not very casual.
