Before and after photos of conserving leather corners on a book.  A very common issue when restoring a book. http://www.book-restoration.com

Two oversized heirloom albums in terrible condition for rebacking and a lot of cosmetic work.

When this binding came to me it did not have a spine and the sewing on the text was completely detached.  I resewed the text, good straight lines in sewing and on the head of the text are important. The cloth boards were rebacked, using hand dyed linen cloth. I made a antiquated ink/paper label for the spine.
