Who else has a collection of different weights for bookbinding? Soft, hard, heavy, and light, they all come in handy in the shop. #bookbinding #weights #bookarts #bookconservation #bookrepair

Giving this copy of Persepolis some TLC after someone apparently got a bit too excited and tore out this hunk of pages. #Librarysky #bookrepair

Also enjoyed getting to finish off repairing To The Arctic which spent the holiday period under weights while it dried. Pleased to say it's now ready to rejoin the shelves! #bookrepair #librarybindings

I’m removing the old glue and acidic paper from this bible. Once clean, I can reline the spine with new and better materials. #bookconservation #bookrepair

I have found these rings work wonderfully to bind my (very expensive) rare copy and not more crushed plastic comb! Binder rings on Amazon.

We are now comparing book pillows, spine rests and dust brushes, it's all surprisingly interesting when you think about book conservation over the course of hundreds of years! #bookrepair

A quick look at a library repair for a paperback book with a peeling cover and a split spine in the middle.
You simply glue the areas and wrap up with a support bandage and leave overnight. Then open it up to see if everything is set right!

Sharing more about me: for a time I was obsessed with book binding & making books by hand. I loved reading about the history of printing & all things Gutenberg. I even worked in book repair at a university library. Here's a couple of books I made years ago. #books #bookbinding #bookrepair

Repaired my first bible. Learned how to do rounded corners, a semi-soft cover with book cloth, and an oxford hollow. Feels like some sort of bookbinding milestone.

I liberated this #book from a #FreeLittleLibrary, but it's got what I believe is mold growing on the bottom. Can this be fixed, or is it a lost cause?
