As we head into the gift giving holidays, please remember that tape belongs on wrapping paper, not on your books. #bookconservation #bookrepair #taperemoval #tapeisevil #guildofbookworkers #bookbinding #bookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4C5GTJbjh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This week I’m at the Guild of Bookworkers Standards of Excellence in Minneapolis and the vendor room is temptation incarnate. #guildofbookworkers #bookbinding https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFcx2Pg8_V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uplh1mgr71zr

Once again we’re repairing the pages on a family bible. The brittle paper tears easily and we want to catch the tears before they get worse. #paperconservation #bookconservation #biblerepair #bookbinding #guildofbookworkers #bookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck0-P3bOgvn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m going to loose my Joy of Cooking until all this tape is removed from this cookbook. Packing tape, masking tape, clear tape. It’s going to be a long day. #bookrepair #bookconservation #bookbinding #cookbook #tapeisevil #bookarts #guildofbookworkers (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CklVCUFrS9E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We need to up our game when we do spine linings for our books. This Dutch Bible’s binder had some serious scraps around. Who else uses marbled paper where it won’t be seen? #bookbinding #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookarts #guildofbookworkers #atlantabookarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ2FwiKLAYW/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Guild of Book Workers conference is still going strong with Julia Miller and her historical models. So many great books are being passed around for close consideration. #guildofbookworkers #bookbinding #historicmodels #bookarts https://www.instagram.com/p/B4FZA-dpADP/?igshid=alnhi1eizhcx
