This Bible has been quite a challenge. Paper repair has taken a long time! But the sewn text block is now complete except for endpapers.
It occurs to me that I should add some context. I posted the initial photo January 9. Less than a week later, I was having an emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix. Then a three-week recovery. (I’m fine now.) Two days after the doctor cleared me for “normal activity” I was wheeling a carry-on through the airport for an emergency trip to visit a sick relative. So….I am not the fastest bookbinder in the world, but this work did not take 3 months of uninterrupted labor!
