In this Volume 5 of the Bookbinders Workshop Instructional Series,
Mr. Chrisman demonstrates the complete and historically correct re-backing
and restoration of an early 18th century book, London, 1728. The project
begins with the cover boards detached, paste-downs that had floated
off over time (but still present), loose turn-ins, a broken end-band,
and so on. Mr. Chrisman transforms this once life-less book into a beautifully
restored tome that has the look and feel of a superbly preserved original
binding. Every aspect of the work is fully demonstrated and explained
on camera.
