Tinting Japanese tissue for a repair project this afternoon - I'm on vacation from the day job, so it's all books all the time!

Okay, most of the time. I'm going to go downstairs and play video games when it gets too hot up here.

The worst casualty of last night's book dropping incident. It's about 30 years old and was already a bit battered, but it was in one piece before.

I see tape, staples and swearing in my future.

When I am not making brand new notebooks I enjoy fixing old books. This was a £1.50 broken book from a charity shop that I decided to give a new lease of life to for my son! Absolutely loved doing this.

I recorded videos of most of the steps - apart from little bits there my head got in the way of the camera! They are over on my TikTok account.

Cracked open the new ThermoBind book repair/binding machine today. It’s my new favorite thing ever. Graphic novels with Perfect Binding? Fixed that crap. Can’t staple a book with glossy paper? No problem. Muahahahaha. #TechServices #BookRepair

Watching a #BookRepair #webinar and learning everything taught to me in technical services at the #PublicLibrary were lies. #LibraryLife

Another book restoration! This time it’s a cloth reback for this wonderful copy of The World of Pooh. One of my favorite things is color restoration, you have to find that balance with making the book look nice while also blending repairs and keeping the original look #book #books #bookrepair #childrensbooks #booklover

I’m a book restorer and here is a book restored! This is called a leather reback and it’s one of the more common restoration methods. Also used Japanese tissues to repair covers and then did a full color restoration #books #book #bible #bookrepair #biblerepair #booklover #bibliophile

@ClaudiaVeronica this is recently acquired. I'm looking for a preservationist to do some #bookrepair and #preservation work. On it. If anyone knows anyone in New England, please pass along their info!
