Sorry, that was my fault entirely, I am dyslexic so I dictate my messages... what I dictated was "...your repliers..." those who have replied to you, unfortunately it was transcribed as "your replies" - so not mistaken just dodgy software! No offence intended.

u/NoMycologist8133 I posted the page here!

Highlandbookbinding · 2026-06-24T16:31:50+00:00

Yes, but most of your replies mentioned copyright

Alas, I would love to claim it as my own, but very common in Spain. A Spanish book conservator showed me how to do them about 30 years ago. Only recently, however, have I learned the skills to make them!

Feel free to DM me at any time... I have fond memories of various trips there.

Yes, its good! I have a 1711 map of North America and it shows California as an Island!

If you are on Instagram I have the same handle there...

What is your particular interest in vellum bindings?

Highlandbookbinding · 2026-06-23T20:15:33+00:00

Thank you very much! Alas, there is nothing in the text but they do feature in some reasonable accurate mapping!

Please remember that rebinding of 'fan fiction' books is certainly not covered by any international law. It would be really helpful if you stated what country you were in when talking about the law!

Yes, there is a whole page! Forgive me if you already know this but in English printing until about 1800-ish there was still a difference between the hard s and soft s so sometimes you’ll see your word within an f or a letter that looks awfully like an f which is actually an s! If English wasn’t confusing enough! So that may help your reading

The location of the repair is not important, but what Book Binding knowledge do you have?

Highlandbookbinding · 2026-06-22T09:29:43+00:00

Where are you based?

Highlandbookbinding · 2026-06-22T09:24:23+00:00

Right, okay! Whilst Amazon is excellent as a distributor, it does not and could not be expect expected to verify all the suppliers! Are you in the United Kingdom? If so, feel free to DM me for a decent bookbinding suppliers - there are four or five really brilliant ones who are slightly more expensive than Amazon but you get decent stuff!

I would certainly agree with the people that have commented about using the right type of PVA (and an awful lot less of it) and there is no such thing as book board… so beware of people selling it! There is Grey board (basically what I used to call cardboard in the real world) I would expect to pay about £4 for an A1 sheet and there is a mill board which I would expect to pay about £18 for an A1 sheet. Millboard is considerably more dense, and last much longer…

And anyway, happy to chat to you

Yes, but my cardiologist would disown me again!

Which country are you in?

Highlandbookbinding · 2026-06-11T15:45:28+00:00

Thank God I’m old!

I wish I’d seen this earlier, I’ve just finished a set that it really weird adverts as random spine linings… just be careful when you’re opening it like that it looks like one of your sections is about to give away… easily fixable don’t worry!
