#bookRestoration rule 1
If you're scraping anything
Wear an apron or coveralls if you like the clothes you're wearing
That shit gets everywhere
Rule 2
Work at a table or smth sturdy
Though I love the convenience of watching TV while scraping end paper, it won't hold still
Also messy couch

This large 1870s folio book, Venice, took way longer to sew than I care to admit.

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 🖋️📖💰

Sometimes, not all paste down material comes off. It's sanding time for these boards. You don't want any relief under the pastedowns, nor do you want the old material coming loose later under the new pastedown.

Did a fun little photo shoot for the bindery tonight...just trying to sort some things out. Hundred-year-old bookbinder's sewing frame with a book that is just about as old, or older...
