Here it is. Pages repaired A very secure fixing of the covers to the text involving the use of some stout linen as a hinge. The spine is ready to have buckram attached and then the old spine will be done. It should be finished today. The covers were dyed with drak brown leather dye and then polished with beeswax. Also done is a very odd little book.
I was given the book with its Fair Isle knitted covering by a friend and decided to make it into a needlebook which I need. So the pages are of felt and they are sown together like a paper book. The spine is just as normal for a paper hardback. But all rather satisfactory.
I have just inspected my diary and realised that I have a little more than a week to prepare a talk. So I will be doing that for the rest of the day.
