Legacy Bookbindery

It'll be cozy, but the weather shouldn't be an issue for doing some marbling with my niece and a couple of her friends tomorrow:

Something interesting: traditional papyrus from Egypt for a small project. I need to do a practice binding with this, before I tackle a historical/artistic binding (of the Nag Hammadi design) for a client. No, I'm not returning to conservation work -- this is a custom binding, where I have more latitude to deal with possible errors.

Sheets are ~ 11x16.

That's an intriguing approach, and I wonder whether it would also help with fungus/mold mitigation for other materials held in rare book collections. Hmm.

Thanks, Cory!
