🧵 Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes into lovingly repairing historic books from The Portico's 19th-century collection...
I decided I needed to dip my toes back into con tabling with @escapadecon.bsky.social next month, so I'll be making a bunch of little notebooks to sell :D this is the first of at least several! #cashbooks #bookbinding

Spent 3½-4 hours today working on making an art book with every print (that fits) I've made in the past two years. So far just the text block, end papers and covers. I'll post more of the pages in the replies, but I'll make a full flip through video when it's done.
