Welcome. Around here we discuss books, history, current events, home life, and other things. Politely. (And mostly with good cheer.) The idea is to share information and ideas, and help each other out a bit when we can.
Thanks! I hope the links are useful. As it happens, none of my books are in dire need of repair (yet). I may attempt another blank notebook for our oldest daughter to use on her nature walks, though. The Coptic-stitch method seems to be ideally suited for such a thing: no adhesives necessary, construction is easy enough for a clod like me, and the spine allows the book to open completely flat without stress.
No, I didn't know about that blog. Thanks for the tip! I'm glad to know that there are folks out there learning book restoration. The people who are good at that are few and far between, and I appreciate their work very much. Go Javamom!

Dear Mama Squirrel,

It was the booksncoffee blog that got me rolling. I assure you that bindery-envy is not a pretty thing to behold.
