Lutra Lutra 611 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Many moons ago I managed to purchase certain books from a life long friend of ours. He has many interests, especially on the subject of (Aviculture) and Gamecocks and certain Bantams. After a somewhat short deal and a little discussion we agreed upon a price for certain books of which had gathered my interest. Within the purchase I managed to obtain a great book on Canaries, Hybrids and British Finches. The contents inside the book were of great condition, very little marks and certainly no inscriptions. However, the book had seen somewhat better days and one of the front boards had started to come away completely, so it was decided by myself to further my instructions at the bookbinders of what I actually wanted doing. To cut a very long story short I decided that a complete rebound should be achieved within the very capable hands of this particular Bindery in question. I also went for quarter leather with marbled boards and endpapers with completely new frontispiece, raised bands with gold tooling. The book as aforementioned was completely rebound. I've enclosed the book before it's wonderful and skilful transformation. Hoping any particular Bibliophiles enjoy the final end product.
