Another restoration that isn't a restoration, but a renovation. Restoration would be restoring it to it's original appearance. That said, I firmly believe that anything that puts a book back into readable condition is a good thing!

The binding and final look is entirely true to the era when the book was first published. If you visit any old European library, you will see row upon row of books in this style. Where do you think Disney got his his inspiration from? He just bastardised old European tales.

@@nrml76well, no, not really. This is a 100 year old book by the title, meaning early 20th, and the binding style is more 17th to 18th century. That said the pages looked more mid 19th than early 20th.

There's always someone who will critcise from an armchair, and anyone can buy an expensive car and put it on the drive to impress the neighbours. Not for me - only skills and abilities that are beyond my experience impress me. My interests are related to wood, but there are many facets within that medium that are beyond my meagre skills such as fine marquetry and inlaying. Those are the kind of skills that impress me. Respect to this craftsman.

18:34. there are better ways to case leather. It should be moistened and then left overnight in a poly bag then brought out and left until the surface appears dry. Then apply the embossing and leave to dry completely. That way you get a far crisper result. It just takes a bit of planning. (Leatherworker of nearly 40 years)

There was no original, or at least not one shown in this video. Only a text block without a binding. (And it is indeed entirely possible that it was never properly bound. I am restoring a dictionary from 1821 - as practice rather than for any real reason - and that was clearly a loose text block that someone just glued a few pieces of scrap cardboard to (not even as big as the book block itself) rather than an actual book. And also the spine mostly and rear board was entirely missing. So yeah, after I restore the text block I will be making my own binding for it, in the style of early 19th C Dutch books, but I’m not gonna spend the world on it in time or money and I’m certainly not keeping the “original look”.)
