A bound folio volume of manuscript binding accounts for various years between 1765 and 1781. 35 manuscript leaves consisting of commissions for books to be bound, statements of accounts by the binder Chamot, and receipts for work undertaken signed by Cham The volume begins with a number of statements of accounts rendered by the binder Chamot.

For 1779 there is a 14 page list of books in wrappers which are to be bound by Chamot. Here, in a left hand column, Chamot has indicated his choice of binding which in many cases has been altered by SÃ©nac who has also added a few interesting observations. At the end there is a letter from SÃ©nac to Chamot in which he expresses his exasperation at the long delay in receiving his books.
