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

Our friend @pattisonpaperworks is doing a great giveaway of a gorgeous Scottish wheel binding. Check them out and say hello. #Repost @pattisonpaperworks ・・・ GIVEAWAY! This has been a terrible year for many people so we thought giving away a book might make it a little better for at least one person. This is a Scottish Wheel binding I recently completed, I’ve always wanted to do one. The text is Picturesque Antiquities of Scotland – Parts Two and Three (London: Printed for the Author, 1793) we posted about the text back on September 27th as it is a little unusual. The recto of each leaf was printed with letterpress and also illustrated with an etching. The book might be a little late in date as the Scottish Wheel design started to go out of fashion in the 1770s, but it seemed like the perfect content for this kind of binding. In keeping with the Scottishness of the book the leather was made by @jhewitsons – the leading manufacturers of leather in Scotland, if not the world (in business for more than 200 years), while the Dutch gilt or brocade paper pastedowns came from @vintage_paper_co_uk - located in Orkney, Scotland. If you have had a mental, physical or financial challenge this year and getting this book would make you feel even a little bit better just comment - Happy Holidays - on this post, you don’t need to do anything else but please use that phrase so we know you are interested in being entered in the drawing. We will accept entries until 5:00 PM EST on Monday Dec. 28th and will post a comment to announce the winner and DM to make arrangements to send the book – postage paid for by us. Please be safe everyone! #bookbinding #guildofbookworkers #binding https://www.instagram.com/p/CJOccS1JJiP/?igshid=z490krf66816

Barton and Bishop are here to let you know, no bookbinding livestream today. I'm Zoom wrangling for a @guildofbookworkers chapter event. See you next weekend! ~°~ Image description: an orange tabby and gray-brown tabby are cuddling on a gray couch with a tan blanket.

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=

It’s late on a Friday, but there’s one more board to go on the book. Almost done for the day. #shinycover #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookbinding #bookarts #guildofbookworkers #biblerepair #isittheweekendyet (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck2HzsuM8qI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think I like the fashion sense of the bookbinder who made this bible, but feel bad for the shirt he probably sacrificed to make it. We’re rebuilding a bible endband from the 19th century. #biblerepair #bookconservation #bookrepair #endband #stripedcloth #bookbinding #bookarts #guildofbookworkers #cbbag (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmAgecpNaM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The @guildofbookworkers conference has started in Atlanta, and the vendors fair is already tempting. So many good supplies from @colophonbookarts. #bookbinding #bookarts #bookbindingsupplies (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8s_DZJgJK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m coveting the tools by @diseniogrosso at the @guildofbookworkers conference. Luckily I don’t need to check a bag on the way home, so I can get as many as I can afford. #bookarts #bookartssupplies #funtools #metaltriangle #bookbinding #bookconservation (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBGgLhO2MB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What fruit is your cellulose ether? A great presentation by Cathy Baker at the @guildofbookworkers conference. I’m excited to experiment with them all. #bookconservation #paperconservation #celluloseethers #conservationchemistry (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBZnw1LYUo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That’s enough conference fun for Andrew with his @guildofbookworkers friends. Now he’s back in the shop trying to find a match for missing fly leaves on this German bible. If we can’t find one, he’s going to have to paint some to match. #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookbinding #bookarts #endpapers #japanesetissue #japanesepaper (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHMIp4pehl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At the @guildofbookworkers conference, @cutstories is giving a great presentation on paper cutting. It’s great to see the conference logo by @calligraphy_wilson as a paper cut. #bookarts #papercut #papercutting (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-vEQ_LeJ7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
