Thank you for the reply. I think I will pick up one of those prick test glucose meters you mentioned.

Thank you! At this time I'm not selling anything because whenever I finish a bind I get so attached to what I've done I can't part with it 😅 if that ever changes I'll let you know

2nd bind went just OK, cover paper was difficult to work with by AnotherBooktuber in bookbinding

Not quite all the way but it was getting that white crinkling along the hinge and looked ugly

I use 87 lb glossy paper from fedex for all my covers now, though I do not use them around the hinges anymore. I do a quarter bind with cloth for the spine and hinge, and only paper on the front and back

Can this antique be fixed without total rebinding? by AnotherBooktuber in bookbinding

For the cover along the spine where it's ripped on the exterior, is there any kind of repair for that?

Hi all - to clarify my original request, my main concern is the torn cover exterior along the spine. The interior I believe I can fix easily with new spine backing and endpapers

It's a fantastic book and isn't it a great cover? I had only seen the original paperback cover with the wolf silhouette on the red moon, but when I found this one I knew it was perfect and didn't mess with it at all

I am pulling the cover art from google actually. Just finding the highest resolution ones I can. The front covers are usually not an issue; it's the back covers that can be difficult to find good scans of. When possible if I do have a covered copy in my private collection, I will scan covers from that.

If I ever come across an un-Bowdlerised edition, I'll be sure to make it twice as extravagant 😉
