What reading level is The Art of Bookbinding book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Mix with every 100 parts of collodion 2 parts of sterine. Place the paper in question on a perfectly level and even surface, such as a marble table or large slab of glass. Give the paper a thin coat of this collodion, and in about twenty minutes it will be protected by a transparent, brilliant, and imperish- able envelope.
To fix drawings or pencil marks. — Pass the paper through a bath of thin size, made either from gelatine or isinglass ; or a bath of skim milk.
To render paper vjaterproof.... — Take of borax 100 parts, water 2, 250 parts ; boil, and while stirring, grad ually add powdered shellac 300 parts. When the whole is dissolved, strain through muslin. This will keep a long time and may be bottled.

To render paper incombustible. — Pass the paper through a strong solution of alum, and hang up to dry.
