Book Binding Tutorials on DVD By Michael ChrismanVolume 4 The Restoration and Reback of a 1728 "Cambridge" Binding
Fine rebacking and historically correct restoration of early books has long been a troublesome aspect of the craft for many binders. Not least in the lifting of their typically very tight spines. In this volume I show my technique in lifting tight spines [in one piece] as well as a host of other rebacking and restoration points, bringing this former "orphan" of a book to a beautifully restored state. The book treated in this new DVD was in deplorable condition. The paste-downs had completely lifted over time, the boards detached, a loose end-band, the original leather turn-ins were loose, and so on. I perform ALL of the work ENTIRELY on camera. Nearly FOUR hours of full (well edited) instruction. My bookbinding video series is now in it's 12th year, and numbers six (6) volumes. ALL volumes are edited down to the "meat" of the instruction, and contain no "quiet times" or "unnecessary" filming. The list of happy, satisfied customers numbers into the many HUNDREDS of people. Our videos are professionally produced (Memory Central Videos, SLC, Utah) and a pleasure to view!
