Restoration

Complete restoration of Joseph Addison’s “Works" (2015) - text block was treated, tissue added to damaged signatures, resewn, and new casing made with brown cloth and marbled paper. The title page (pictured below) was damaged beyond repair, so another copy was scanned and inserted into the text block with the original in mylar protection kept with the book.

Recasing and paper repair on “The Guns of August” (2018) - text block was in relatively good condition, though separated from the boards. Endpapers were damaged, though mostly in the hinges. Endpapers were repaired with tissue, the hinges and spine backed with moll, and reattached to the boards. Casing covered in marbled paper with original spine pieces adhered.


Complete restoration of client’s family ledger and scrapbook (2020) - heavy paper repair and text block treatment, resewn, laced on boards to hold weight, and covered in navy leather with marbled paper. Several leaves and ephemera were completely unattached or pressed within the pages; they’re now protected in a portfolio accompanying the book.
