Dismantling a vintage book by cutting the binding thread so that the pages can be rebound. |
Newer books, of course, are bound with much less thread and much more glue in the spine, making it impossible to capture the full intact original pages. I am saddened by this.
At some point it occurred to me I might want to include original pages in these refreshed journals. I particularly love the idea of including the copyright pages with a book. Oh, how I ache for the copyright pages I previously discarded!

With vintage books, I make every effort to remove the intact copyright pages and bind them within. However, sometimes this just isn't possible - previous binding holes may be mangled, or the pages stuck to the end paper with glue. So, these end up in a back pocket, too.
