Upbuilding and constructive instead of tearing down and destructive. I like this much better.

Our 清文鑑 has previously been partially restored—likely in the late 1800s. After the volumes were damaged by bugs, the restorer added a layer of paper under the holes and sometimes even rewrote (parts of) the missing text by hand. #ChinaBooks #Sinology #BookRestoration

Me? A restoration effort on an 1870 edition of VENICE and four half-bound leather music composition journals crafted with a split-board structure my apprentice @smithingchick is working.

Many thanks to Susannah at Bracadale Books for adding decades more life to this 100-year-old edition of 'When We Were Very Young'. Eagle eyes will spot evidence that the original binder used an even older book's board beneath the blue leather cover. Waste not, want not. #bookrestoration 🖋️📖💰

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?
