Edith Diehl (–) is an American bookbinder and author of ''Bookbinding, its Background and Technique'' (Rinehart and Co., 1946), a classic text and manual on the history and craft of bookbinding in two volumes (republished in editions by Kennicat Press, 1965; Hacker Art Books, 1979; Dover, 1980).〔http://www.loc.gov/search/?q=edith+diehl&all=true&in=original_format%3Atext&st=list〕 In 1947, in recognition of her accomplishments, Diehl was made an Honorary Life Member of the Guild of Book Workers. Diehl is also known for her wartime works, having closed her studio in 1914 to become Director of Workrooms for the American Red Cross. In 1917, she was asked by trustees of Wellesley College to become Director of the Woman's Land Army of America Training Camp and Experiment Station, which led to her appointment as National Director at the headquarters in Washington, D.C. where she wrote a handbook for use in the national camps. ==Biography== Diehl was born in Brewster, New York (within the Town of Southeast, in Putnam County), the daughter of Philip (a baker and ice-cream parlor owner) and Josephine Lee Diehl. (A Ralph Diehl, possibly a brother, is cited as Brewster Bakery owner and postmaster in 1923 in Br). She attended Drew Seminary in Carmel, New York. Philip was a German immigrant, and bilingual in German and English. She studied philosophy at the University of Jena, Germany at the age of twenty-two after leaving Wellesley. Edith was one of the founders of the Brewster Public Library.〔Cyllich, L. Danielle. “A world of Book (); Edith Diehl and the Brewster Public Library”. Lecture notes. Sept. 26, 1996.
