Description
When leather bindings break at the joints, the traditional approach is to reback the binding with leather, re-hanging the boards and relining the spine. However, there are times when this is not feasible. In recent years, conservator Don Etherington and others have pioneered simple, non-invasive repairs using Japanese tissue. This demonstration bt SoB Vice-Chairman, Dominic Riley, covers these techniques. Also included here is a slideshow of the prizewinning bindings from the SoB International Bookbinding Competition 2005.
