The first 2 volumes were bound by the bindery in Delft, the 3rd and final volume was bound by presumably the First Stadtholder Bindery (The Hague): "Four copies are known with the arms of The Hague in the centre of their covers (...) They will be presentation bindings, presumably the gift neither of the author nor the publisher, but of the town itself and intended for the many Hague functionaries to whom the book is dedicated, for other important personages and also for those who would hold these offices after 1730 (...) De Riemer published the second and final volume nine years later, not in Delft but at The Hague, with Johannes de Cros (1739). As far as is known, the CB Bindery bound no copy of it. Its brief existence had by then already come to an end." (see: Storm van Leeuwen IIA, p.404f).
