Rebacking a 1890s family bible
Saving the original spine and why we bother.
A one-room bindery repairing family bibles, binding theses and making small editions of notebooks by hand. This note collects what worked, what did not and what we would do differently next time.
In short: start simple, write every step down and do not trust the first explanation you hear.
If you have questions or corrections, mention them next time we meet and we will add the useful ones here.
