Date and Description
Watch Book Restoration Live! April 19th from 3-4 on my Facebook page called Save Your Books.
I am certain that for many of you this is like an invitation to watch paint dry, but for those few who maybe have a book repair question, this is your chance to ask it and even see it answered in action.
I will be working on this old christmas book ( in the photo) but the principles will apply to lots of books. There will be some page repair, removal of marks, and eventually re-casing.
I have over 25 years of experience restoring books (and a book conservation diploma from the AAB) and now I am sharing what I know. All of the methods will be archival and conservation oriented. Typically I am orienting my education to amateurs and those with no tools. This may be a little different but I will try to mention simpler alternatives if I use anything fancy.
I hope to see you all there! ~
