On December 6th, the LBS-HBS Bookbinders' Association handed over the so-called Bookbinding Collection . It contains books that are hand-bound by various bookbinders and marked by them. In addition, additional material such as binding from well-known bookbinding companies and professional books is included. The collection comes with a simple index, which will be registered in Gegnir. There are a total of 195 books, but it is expected that more will be added to it gradually. The collection will be part of special collections and will be used for research on Icelandic bookbinding.
