	Bookbinding
		Bookbinding is the "art of arranging the pages of a book in proper order, and confining them there by means of thread, glue, paste, pasteboard and leather." So said Edward Hazen of Philadelphia, very succinctly, in his Panorama of Professions and Trades, or Every Man's Book, 1837.
		Many persons known simply as printers or booksellers were also bookbinders and, as in the case of Green, above, it is often a matter of assumption that they bound the books they printed unless other binders are unmistakably identified with the work.
		The man generally conceded by authorities to be the greatest American bookbinder comes at a somewhat later period; William Matthews, 1822-1896.
