We note with great sadness the death of Bernard Middleton, a towering figure in UK bookbinding with close links to the Library. Bernard spent much of his life working with British Library collection items at the Library’s bindery, then known as the British Museum Bindery, following his apprenticeship there. To see some of his bindings and to hear him talk about his training please see a blog we posted in 2014 to celebrate his 90th birthday: http://bit.ly/2GcXWkT Our thoughts and best wishes are with his family and friends.
