Friends Bibliophiles goodnight,
is the result of a recent machine. This binding plastic bakelite type consists of two flat a rigid back articulated by a hinge-like "piano" with a metal rod. The front cover is adorned with two small art-deco motifs molded and painted silver which enclose a brass plaque engraved with the title of the book. The whole surmounted by three horizontal lines molded into the body. Three other lines are found at the bottom of the same dish. (Here the plate is not that the title of the book, the result of an inversion of origin or late?).
The dishes are beveled. On the back slightly bent, encrusted another brass plaque bearing the title and author's name (it's good!). Advantage of the hinge, the book opens completely. The cons flat molded cup is covered with a golden colored paper and leaving a wide blank border. The lower edge of the second cons dish bears the signature "BINDING JOTAU PATENTED SGDG" (We must say we do not see why the government clung mixed binding, even industrial!).
The body of the book itself is only secured to the back, his head is golden.
This binding industry began in bookbinding and Taupin Brodard in the late 1920s. The printing of Paul Brodard had merged with the firm of Binder - brochure Joseph Taupin in 1923. Jotau is the pseudonym of Joseph Taupin.
Pierre-Lucien Martin had participated in the preparation of this binder. The material used is the "Pollopas", a plastic resin tinted light in weight, close to the bakelite. Implementation, however, was quite expensive and use these binders proved quite fragile, corners and hinges brittle under impact.
The process does not seem to have lasted well beyond 1933. Some years ago the Bookbinder Jean de Gonet marketing of new semi-industrial binders of this kind, reported flat, molded "Rim".
