Book Projects

"The Builder's Pocket Companion" by A.C. Smeaton. - Philadelphia, 1850.
Typical 19th century publisher’s cloth binding. Spine partially detached. Was re-backed with matching cloth.

"The Codman collection of books on landscape gardening." - Boston, 1899.
Paper pamphlet. Was inappropriately repaired with different types of pressure-sensitive tape. Tape and staining were removed, paper mended and losses filled with matching blue paper.

"Jarhbuch des Deutschen Werkbundes." - [s.l.], 1915.
Paper covered over stiff boards’ early 20th century binding. Spine was missing and inappropriately repaired with packing tape. Tape was removed, book re-backed with matching heavy handmade paper.
