A childhood favorite falls open at the spine, pages loose, cover hanging by a thread of old glue. This is the quiet craft of bringing it back: how to assess what a book truly needs, the patient work of resewing signatures, choosing the right paper for repairs that last, and the particular satisfaction of a cover closing cleanly again. Slow, hands-on, and full of respect for things worth keeping.
