February 18, 1977 A bookbinder who doubles as a gilder often becomes a goldsmith of the book. It is both the artist and the craftsman who speak tonight. In his workshop, Jacques LAUCOURNET explains why he had to partially retrain in the semi-industrial sector and how he was able to preserve his primary vocation: art bookbinding.
