Thick gold content of old fine book edges
I was looking over this old, very ornate leather book
and noticed how thick the gilding of the edges seemed. From my experience with gold leaf, it comes in the form of extremely thin sheets. It probably takes a very small amount to gild a book. But I realize that I don't know how book edges are gilded and it might take more than other surfaces. Does anyone know? This book was printed in 1851. -- Robert Pearson ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com |
