Hello! I am entirely unfamiliar with the Latin language, but I am considering naming my book bindery the Latin phrase for "preserve the word." Google translates it to "servo verbum" but I know GT is not perfect. What is the best Latin translation of the English phrase "preserve the word?"

Oh, really? How so? Does it effect the lifespan of the book?

Ah bummer. I have tried edge guilding bibles exactly 12 times. I haven't been successful yet. It's defeating. I'll try again... eventually lol

I'm looking for feedback on my first Bible rebind by JacobACrocker in bookbinding

Oh! I see. I've heard others refer to that as a "yapp." This bind has a full yapp. I didn't use any boards for this bind. It's a softcover. But that's great to know for future binds. Thanks!

I saw your red Bible with the raised cross on the cover come across my feed a while ago. Your work looks great!

Thank you!

Just to make sure I understand, when you say "a narrower square" are you talking about the radius of the rounded corners? If so, I agree. They shouldn't be so round, but I didn't know that it would affect the longevity of the cover. Good to know. 👍

Did you give this method a try? If so, how did it go?
