Jim D sez, "Last week I worked on rebinding a 1518 printing of Ovid's "Metamorphoses". Since the client wanted to have it done in a limp vellum binding — which I don't get to do that often — and the book itself is significant, I thought I would take some photos of the process and write the whole thing up, and that this might be of interest to BB readers."

(Thanks, Jim!)
