Can you imagine the amount of old books that will be destroyed after people trying this out without the practice she has had?

Or the number of people that will suddenly spring up advertising book restoration, and go on to ruin books provided by people that do not research their chosen restorer first.

I've had an internship at a local paper museum where I learned all the analogue techniques that applied to art, under which bookbinding. In a 6 month time, I learned to strip a book, make a book myself, add pages, sew pages and that stuff. It's such a therapeutic process. I will be forever grateful that I learned this. This was also so satisfying to watch and it easily could be a 30 minute video!! Books are ancient relics from our past and they need to be saved for the future. Great job @Insider!

I really enjoyed watching and listening to the whole process. At the university I attended many moons ago, it had a staff of about ten book repairers as well as several apprentices that worked to restore the many old texts that resided in the library's collections.
Did she just weigh down the wet pages to keep them from becoming rippled? I’ve tried that before, and they still come out wavy

Restoring an old book takes a lot of time and effort. I can tell she's really passionate about it.

It reminded me of the person that makes the elemental tome books. I think she’s Swedish or something? She bakes the pages in the oven to dry them. I don’t remember her name though.
She did an absolutely amazing job. The new spin looks fantastic and the inside of the cover and the pages look like they are original, the owner will be so pleased!
I swear you could turn this into a Violet Evergarden type of anime where the retelling of the stories from the books are combined with the craftsmanship of repairing them, and I would watch the heck out of that show! Also, give this woman a HD camera!
Delightful and professional presentation, Sophia Bogle. You have a lovely voice that enhances the video.
Wow.. I feel so relieved.. I don't know what is in this but I love binding and taking care of my books it's so soothing ❤️

Excellent video. I look forward to watching your other videos. I'm presently interested in saving some rare water damaged and moldy books. Thank you.
Mrs. Sophia. What a great job you do. Some time ago, a person lent me the book, "The Pilgrim's Progress". I was fascinated, as it was the complete work, and the book was about 100 years old. Its condition was like the one in this video. Where I live nobody does book restorations like you do. Greetings from Bogota Colombia. I wish your videos were subtitled in Spanish.
She is truly and artist. This video was simply mesmerizing. I would love so much to be able to do this.
Thank you very much your work is appreciated and respected. 👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾❤
This is the best new KZread series I’ve discovered
Beautiful work
Such a beautiful neat job, I could almost smell the book at the end!
This is actually incredibly satisfying
Lovely video! Beautiful accompanying music by the way!
I really didn’t know book restoration is a thing but its soo satisfying
I have a 70 year old book right next to me, she's in pretty okay condition if I say so myself. A little bit of wear on the cover but all the pages are intact and no bind breakage yet ^^
She: Pours water Me: Nooooo! Also Me: O okay, part of the process 😂😂
The music plus the visual of this video is amazing!
amazing! you need distress ink with a small sponge for the edges of the paper. I make a ton of antiqued paper for journals etc. The dark smudges, smears are easy to do with distress ink by Tim holtz. You will love the stuff, all sorts of earthy shades... Great job!!
This seems so therapeutic that I would love to learn how to properly do this. 😩🥺
That was beautiful! ❤️
Thank you for this video; amazing to see how well the pages cleaned up. So excited to see an old book get an extended life; you just can beat the feel of a great old book.
Excellent work.
Thank you! I just received an 1855 book of flowers that is in need of repair. I've made enough new books that I'm confident I can restore this one myself.

What a beautiful marbled paper you used for the endpapers 😍
I remember doing this kind of stuff in my paper conservation, and preservation class in GradSchool. ☺️
Don’t know how I got here but loved it. Very fascinating and I love to read. Great video 👍🙂
The pages looked so clean after soaking! I wonder if it got rid of the smell old books sometimes have.
This is beautiful. I've repaired some antique books but the issues were really simple. I've wanted to learn how to do this for years, it really is an art form. Wow, she is really good. And this is such important work.
This is outstanding! Clear, concise, excellent narration. However, I have some old model kit instruction sheets that are heavily yellowed and acidified to the point of being somewhat brittle. Is there anything I can do to rectify these two related problems?
While watching this video, it flashback my memories from when I used to go to the library and read some Hans Christian Andersen books. The good times when it wasn't still quarantine...
That's so cool. It looks so clean and beautiful 🥰😊💜💜💜💜💜💜
Good to see the skill and talent alive in todays Internet and Virtual world. Virtual world cannot be secured for long time. But books, stone carving can stay for years to come and generations in future can see and feel it.
I have a friend who went to school for this and there's so much more to it than what she's showing.
I am a librarian and I want to adapt this skill to revive the my books.
Never knew you could clean up your guilt using a cuticle stick!

Really enjoyed this.
What paint does she use to touch up the Brown cover?
Omg, my new FAVORITE channel!
I loved the video, the way it is narrated and shot - but she suddenly went from reparing one single page to glueing the top back on. There was no reassembly and I wanted to look how she dried the pages without them wrinkling. Lovely work and the book looks phantastic in the end.
Please make it on 4K. Great video!
Who would have thought that one of the keys to cleaning a book is hot water! That's would seem like a Cardinal Rule "NO". So cool!

Everybody saying how anxious/surprised they got when she put the pages in the water and they weren’t damaged at all, but it seemed so obvious to me... I mean, it’s just water, and paper is generally made of cellulose, which doesn’t react with water I think (not a chemistry specialist, just my humble opinion :P)

Think about how many people from different generations and races touched and read this book before it reached her. Knowledge is truly immortal.
