Other Details:
Nixon suggested the identification of "Queens' Binder A" as William Nott on the basis of an entry in Samuel Pepys's Diary. On 12 March 1668/9, Pepys wrote: "I tool: (W. Howe] in my coach with W. Hewer and myself towards Westminster; and there he carried me to Nott's, the famous bookbinder, that bound for my Lord Chancellor's library; and here I did take occasion for curiosity to bespeak a book to be bound, only that I might have one of his binding." All four of the so called "Queens' Binders" they did not all bind books for Queens of England decorated the sides of their bindings with very similar repeating patterns.
