I like to rescue books from flea markets, charity shops and books heading for landfill and to give books a second life. I have included a few of the original pages as a ghostly reminder of its past.
The leather spine support was cut and shaped from wonderful English leather off-cuts from talented belt makers at: TBM-The belt Makers in Exeter at- www.thebeltmakers.com
The 100 gsm paper was salvaged from a company that had no use for it (changed logo). The linen thread was purchased from a charity shop.
