Bookbinding matters, or the 3rd Conference of the Polish Bookbinders' Association.

The Sobieski Antiquarian Bookshop is a member of the Association of Polish Bookbinders, an institution whose goal is to promote the art of bookbinding and support both specialists and enthusiasts of this profession. The Association represents the professional interests of bookbinders, organizes workshops, conferences and exhibitions, and also provides advice and access to specialist information. On 13-14.06.2025, as we reported on our social media, the 3rd Conference of the Association took place in the UKW library - a nationwide conference of book craftsmen.

During this event, presentations and speeches were held, as well as a bookbinding exhibition. Here you will find a detailed plan of the Conference:

At the conference it was also possible to admire the works of old masters of this noble craft.

On the second day, a workshop part was held, and the participants also went on a joint tour of the city of Bydgoszcz.

The exhibition included over 50 book bindings, some of which, including ours, are presented in a photo report.

Below we publish photos of our luxurious leather book bindings presented at the exhibition:

This is what their presentation, as well as that of other artists, looked like on site in the display cases.

The exhibition also included bookbinding tools, marbled papers and SIP publications.

Due to the volume, we are publishing a few of the more interesting works.
