Book Binding Tutorials on DVD By Michael Chrisman.

Volume 3 A 19th Century Period Binding.

 

bookbinding tutorial

 In this Bookbinders Workshop Instructional Series, Michael Chrisman demonstrates the complete and historically correct rebinding of an Early 19th Century Book in Period-Style Leather.  Beginning with a book that is lacking its entire binding and which needs to be completely re-sewn and rebound. Michael transforms this once lifeless book into a beautiful tome that has the look and feel of an original binding.  See table of contents below:

Every aspect of the work is fully demonstrated and explained on camera.

The "Before & After" images below are of the actual book that was restored on camera.

NTSC Run Time - 3 HOURS / 50 MINUTES

These DVDs are compatible with European formats
