Clement Samford and John Hemphill, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation,
Williamsburg: 1966. Bookbinders rarely had
lasting professional ties with Printers during the eighteenth century. It was through the
contracting work of Booksellers, the publishers of the period, that the two were brought
together on the same projects. Only in the Southern British colonies did there seem to exist a
commonality between these disparate trades. This oddity deserves further study and will be
treated to such by the project in the future.
