Sybil Pye (18 November 1879 – 1958) was a self-trained British bookbinder famous for her distinctive inlay Art Deco leather bindings.
Their parents entertained many literary and artistic figures of the time including Laurence Binyon and Thomas Sturge Moore.
[4] The oldest sister was Edith Mary Pye and one of the few women Chevaliers of the Legion of Honour for her work in France during World War I.
Ethel and Sybil belonged to a circle of friends of Rupert Brooke, known as the Neo-pagans, which included the Olivier sisters and David Garnett.
[10] She taught herself, learning from Douglas Cockerell's classic Bookbinding and the Care of Books, but also used Moore and Ricketts as advisors and critics throughout her career.
[11][12] In 1931, the book collector John Roland Abbey commissioned her to produce a binding of his own design for Siegfried Sassoon's Memoirs of an Infantry Officer.
