Tooling: Any form of hand decoration in bookbinding, typically using an engraved metal instrument that leaves an image, pattern or groove in the binding material. If the tool in use has been heated, it can be used to press gold leaf into the pattern, resulting in “gold tooling.” Silver tooling using silver foil and other variants also exist. If no material was used, then the resulting pattern is called “blind tooling.” Tooling done on the edges of the textblock is called gauffering.
