Repairing Leather Bindings with Japanese Paper DVD - Dominic Riley

A video record of Dominic Riley’s demonstration at the SoB Seminar in Birmingham, July 2002.

Wnen leather bindings break at the joints, the traditional approach is to reback the binding with leather, re-hanging the boards and relining the spine. However, there are times when this is not feasible.

In recent years, conservator Don Etherington and others have pioneered simple, non-invasive repairs using Japanese tissue. This demonstration by SoB Vice-chairman, Dominic Riley covers these techniques.

Also included here is a slideshow of the prizewinning bindings from the SoB International Bookbinding Competition 2005.
