The Art of the French Book from early manuscripts to the present time is mostly about the beautiful illustrations which were added to illustrations and borders of pages which made the book more beautiful. It took a team of partners to accomplish a beautiful book--the author, the illustrator, the printer, the typographer and the binder. A complete list of illustrations and plates is on the contents page. The contents includes the following chapters: Manuscripts; The French book in the XVth and XVIth Centuries--then the XIXth Century, and lastly the XXth Century; ending with Bindings.
