These comments are very interesting, even though I am not an expert, I do know the difference between a demonstration and a tutorial. Personally I loved this.

I am not a fan of the cover style but the whole process is simply amazing, bookbinding is such a fascinating art!

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!

I don't think it's either, though: it's a rebinding.

The skill of the book binder is amazing.

Those who make rude comments here, shame. This video allows you to witness the careful restoring of a very old book so that it can last another hundred years or more and you are only interested in bullying the whole process. You are missing the point of the informative information. It is very relaxing and I hope this craft never fades.

Not sure I liked the sculptured edges or the tear effect on the faces but the quality of the workmanship cannot be denied. One thing that stood out for me was the "wastage" of the covering leather - amateurs like me would save every inch, a professional doesn't have to bother!

Very interesting. Thank you. I can't say I'm enamoured with the covers, and if it were my volume I'd have preferred a simple plain look. But I imagine the customer / owner had the last word!

The amount of work involved was quite surprising. So many different steps in the process and so much glue! I do wonder what the thought was in picking that rather odd cover. A very interesting process even so.

Interesting restoration process, surprising final design aesthetics , was not expecting a wizard book.

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)

@@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.

I really appreciate the comments that give credit and honor to the work, even if the style is not necessarily their taste.

What a fabulous skill to have. Every moment of this video was wonderful. I didn't realize so much went into the restoration of a book.

Is it really restoration when the restorer takes artistic liberties? Wouldn’t a true restoration process attempt to make the object as close to the original as possible?

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”.)

Preserving history in the best way possible.

Fascinating process, beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing this with us 👍from California.

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.

Nice job, but I was also expecting to see the cleanliness of the pages from all the stains.

Truly a very interesting process.

Fantastic.

Que impresionante restauración le hicieron a ese libro.

No doubt in my mind that this is a skilled craftsman judging by the skills and special tools he has at his disposal, which leads me to believe that this is not a valuable book and that the customer dictated the end result and perhaps it was intendet to look like something from a Harry P. movie.....but we will never really know.

I'll be honest, the end result looks fukken trash - It looks like something out of a low-rent wizard movie, and has no absolutely no resemblance to period book binding at all... I happen to collect antique books, and this is NOT a 'restoration', this is 'adulteration'. That would have been very expensive to restore, but it's now worthless to both a collector and in any historical sense. Not because it's been re-bound, but because it's been re-bound in some kind of caricature fantasy BS style. So sad to watch a perfectly saveable book destroyed like this.

It was already worthless, since it was a bare unbound text block (meaning there wasn’t anything to restore), and it’s not content of any particular value (journal of the House of Commons - even a properly bound one wouldn’t be worth that much. - 19th century examples in contemporary leather bindings are 50 to 100 bucks retail)
