Description of the project
In our bookbinding shop we work with a small, friendly team to restore and re-bind old books. We also reuse covers of old children's books and pulp novels to make artistic gifts. We also make the famous Tax Blues books, made from old tax envelopes. We have room for new bookbinders and restorers - even those who still want to learn the trade. The work requires concentration, patience and fine motor skills, but above all you learn by doing.
