A video (http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/videoDetails?cat=2&segid=372) created by the J. Paul Getty Museum (1988) in which WA demonstrates sewing on signatures and other aspects of binding medieval manuscripts. Present here is a 96 page script, each page dated August 1988. Three pages, 54-56, concern "Binding the Manuscript" and refer to WA filmed sewing on sections. The video continues to be widely shown to explain the construction of early illuminated manuscripts. For other videos featuring WA, see the Standards Seminars in the Guild of Book Workers Library.
