Abstract
A biography of Henry I. Megarey, arguably the finest bookbinder working in the U.S. in the first half of the 19th century. The study is based on the study of a specific Megarey binding, commissioned by the Reverend Thomas Breintnall for a colleague, the Reverend Henry P. Powers (whose lives are also sketched).
