Gradenwitz was born in Berlin in 1917 and was brought up surrounded by books. Even as a young boy, he was taken on visits to book dealers, book lovers and specialist libraries and was thus able to acquire a knowledge of books and book law from his early youth. During the Nazi persecution Gradewitz emigrated to England where he studied at the Bradford Technical College, at the time, part of the University of Leeds. When the war was over Joseph saw opportunities to build his own book collection and he concentrated his attention on early Hebrew books and the subsequent development of Hebrew printing and type design. Gradenwitz also formed a sophisticated appreciation of the fine art of bookbinding and restoration and later became a professional bookbinder himself. He taught at the London College of Printing and lectured extensively on the subject of rare Hebrew books. Gradenwitz’s book collection was sold by Kestenbaum & Company in America, in 2006. (9)
