Just begun to pull a book for rebinding. Very old edition of Lady of the Lake, by his wordiness, Sir Walter Scott. No date but includes a Life Of. Concerned about the thick crust of animal glue on the back of the sections, I don’t want to have to soak the thing as it is quite frail as well as being tiny.

The finished binding will be infinitely classier than the original – mid green goatskin with simple clean onlays and tooling.

Completion will bind the close of an overly long chapter.
