I will be doing both if all goes as planned. 😊

I cannot schedule a specific time unfortunately due to other obligations. (I work on call at a local library) If you are a “follower” on UA-cam I think you get a notification. I hope to catch you next time.

Darn! I can't believe I missed you live again. I originally had this on my calendar for 1 pm Central time and then found I'd missed it by an hour, and so this week set my calendar for noon, but I still missed it. I had thought you had scheduled for 10am PDT, which would be noon in the Midwest. So it's really 9am your time? Anyway, I'm glad that despite my confusion, the session are all recorded. Are you having one next week on the 4th? Thanks, Stan

Good, useful information in here but it needs editing! Thanks.

I feel like there's so much red on the cover that it would be the best option to stay with red. I would think maybe off-white would be my second choice.

Lovely intro song. Anyone know what it's called?

16 = Seize ;)

Sometimes you can identify first editions by using the various features of WorldCat. This is particularly helpful with older books and those in foreign languages.

Thank you for posting this! I have some wll-loved picture books from my own childhood and am looking forward to understanding how to repair them.

Richard Scarrey's books are the best!! A whole generation of these and Dr. Seuss books need to live forever! I taught English while in china from Dr. Seuss.

What type of brush did you use to paint the gold lettering on the spine? Where did you purchase it? Once you start on these letters don’t you have to paint all of them in order to make it look consistent?

lord sophia, adorable lady 👍

I've been a subscriber for awhile. UA-cam stopped recommending your channel. Finally this one popped up ! I checked somehow I was unsubscribed ! I subscribed again! You should be proud that in the beginning you were the only channel that I know of that restored books. Now there are several channels doing this. I consider you the best I guess because of your experience and professionalism! I am binge watching where I left off and can not wait to see the next series of videos! Were you using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils ?

I need help using leather in the repair of a spine.

Do you ever cut the spine liner somewhat wider than the spine so that it goes ca. 1” on each side over onto the board in order to give the joint more inner support?

Do you think acid free glue could be an option also ?

Thank you for filming this !! A few days ago a friend loaned me an old paperback and it split in two while I was reading it. I absolutely did NOT want to return it damaged so your video is a life-saver. ( !!! ) THANK YOU !!

👌🏼

Oh, it's turning out nice! Thanks for filming in real time as some others use fast foward and you don't get a real sense of the time that goes into the art.

You’re brilliant 🤍

👏👏

Congratulations for your job. I'm a perfectionist myself, so I love watching these. Are you accepting apprentices by any chance?

It's funny I got into board games during covid and have had to fix many cardboard boxes buying used games. Through trial and error I come up with a good method and seeing your video I have been using all the same equipment as you, wax paper and all, even down to the exact same Irwin clamps. Getting into rebinding paperback sheet music books I was about to attempt a very similar method as yours, but was wondering if the PVA glue would stick to itself if I glued the pages first, let it dry, then apply more glue to attach the spine and covers as a whole.

Very interested in the use of acrylics in book restoration. I have a first of Out of Africa and the front board was apparently left in the sun and almost half of the board is much lighter than the original cover color. Could the use of acrylics help?

I'm loving this series. I found your page due to some of my other restoration watches and immediately started with the Emily of New Moon. I'm Canadian and grew up with Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlee (books/movies/shows). Fantastic job

I missed the live 😞

Such gorgeous art.

Excellent 👌🏼

Hi there, how do i clean mold from handwritten documents or journals? I want to make sure not to ruin my documents but worried I'll damage it further by doing it wrong!

To avoid piercing the thread when you are ‘catching up’ around the tape, pass the eye end first rather than the pointed tip. When darning we use this nearly method every time. It is not any slower if not faster.

It's fun to free form video, relaxing! Wonderful and thoughtful restoration.

Hearing you fine, just had to turn sound up a little bit. Great information, thank you.

Do I need a special eraser? Does it have to be white?

This is not working for me ughh

I realize that this is a few months old but, I have been watching you all night instead of sleeping…CONGRATULATIONS on your new camera system! Is Pelon similar to Holitex? I bought your book a few years ago and read it immediately. Life has taken me away from my own book journey, but this is my reentry.

Back in the day those brushes were drafting brushes for draftsmen. They were made of horsehair. My shave brush is also.

Thank you for so kindly sharing you wisdom. I may never bind a book but I appreciate your caring and dedication for the art. 😊

What is the advantage of sewing over tapes rather than a stitch like the Coptic? I’m trying to determine what goes into the decision of one technique over another.

I missed the live stream! 🙇🏻‍♂️

I have a 1929 children's book The Tale of the Long Ear Bat, 30% of its original dust jacket was torn and missing when I acquired it. Should I remove the dust jacket and store it (to prevent further damage)? I display my books in my Victorian House, and I encourage people to pick up a book and look at the contents. I collect children's books because I adore their illustrations and fun stories. Your thoughts on storing the jacket?

So much care in sewing! Thank you for all the wonderful details. I will keep this video for reference.

So helpful, thank you!

Good info on gluing/pasting back, loose pages; thanks,

Quería agradecerle su generosidad al compartir tan valiosa información. Estoy verdaderamente interesada en la restauración de libros y al vivir en un lugar apartado no me resulta fácil acceder a dicha información (y formación). Sigo con mucho interés sus cursos. De nuevo le reitero mi agradecimiento. Que tenga un buen día y sigo atenta a sus publicaciones.

So love this series. I'm just messing in retirement as a hobby. I'm not trying to make anything out of it but find online FB groups really nasty towards this as a hobby. You don't give off that vibe at all. Working on a 100 yrs photo book of our monarchy. Coming along fine with your help and guidance 👏

I can't understand a word :'(
