Hello fellow bookbinders and book enthusiasts and scholars, I am working on a book about Ellen Gates Starr, co-founder of Hull House in Chicago, who studied bookbinding with Cobden-Sanderson in 1897-1899. I have identified 125 of her bindings, but know the location of only about one third of them. Most of her bindings are similar in style to Cobden-Sanderson/Doves Bindery books (full leather with intricate gold tooling). She usually signed her bindings EGS with the date at the foot of the back turn-in. In the hopes that I can locate more of these bindings, I've included below a list of the missing bindings, with binding dates and provenance information. Please respond directly to me if you know where any of them are located. I would be glad to provide more details; I do have images of some of the bindings, as well as some binding descriptions. I'd also appreciate suggestions of additional places to look for these bindings: I've consulted auction records, world cat and other library catalogues, the ilibris list, and of course, various bookseller and general online searches. Thanks VERY much. I apologize to people who get this email twice. Please forward my message to anyone whom you think might be able to help me. Barbara Francesca Alexander.
