First edition. The Bloomsbury Heritage Series No. 27. Virginia Woolf was an amateur bookbinder who bound or re-covered books throughout her adult life, both for herself and for others. It is not known what motivated her to engage in bookbinding, but she was a publisher who set type and sewed the hand-printed books of her publishing house. She may have done binding as a creative outlet as her books exhibited enthusiasm rather than skill. OCLC: 46648822.
