wow, just amazing transformation. i have really enjoyed watching this. i hope you have handwritten in a message and the date of rebinding for the person who pulls this off a shelf in another 100 years. thank you for the videos
Adding notes to a rebound book is actually recommended in the manual I just read, so I intend to do that for this one. edit - I'm pinning this comment thread to the top, as the question seems to be coming up a lot. Perhaps I'll make an addendum video on the subject.
Came here to ask the same question. Imagine the thrill of finding that note in 100 years, and feeling even more connected to the total story of the artifact. Thanks for the great content!
I agree! I think people who do restorations generally do not document themselves enough on their work! Humility, consideration, and no small dose of hesitation may stay their hand after working to remove superfluous markings, but I firmly believe that adding specific notes only adds to the intrigue and value of the end result! I encourage people to write a note within a book Any Time it is gifted, or otherwise changes hands. Thus the unique story continues, and a richer experience is forged.
If you take suggestion I would love another series of rebinding a classic, similair to your dune one. Maybe something like the hobbit or a collection of fairytales
Less elaborate that the ones you've been doing recently but just as satisfying. I look forward to the day where you're confident enough with the gold to do it directly on the book! I love that bookbinding seems to be an eternal learning process.
It certainly is, which is part of the joy of it. I love when I discover some new tip or technique that solves a problem I've experienced personally. Thanks for watching!
So many tips and tricks! It's fabulous that you were able to salvage that book in such an elegant way. Really appreciate that you share your knowledge. Thanks for the great videos.
I've been waiting patiently for Episode 3. And it was well worth the wait. It is amazing to see the difference in the book afterwards. So magical to watch. Thank you Sir for sharing your skills.
I was excited when UA-cam algorithm marketed us up as I’ve wanted to hand bind books and repair old ones since I was a teenager. The idea is still fascinating but I’m not sure I would ever want to mess with the leather decoration.
I started bookbinding when I was a preteen so I’ve been doing it for half my life. Life gets in the way and I haven’t bound anything for years until i found your channel. Now i am practicing marbling paper almost every day and I’m starting a new book project. So thanks!
I've loved watching you bring this book back to life Dennis! Its been a absolute joy watching you work and for me as a hobby binder learning more about the art and craft of Bookbinding. You've made a fabulous job of it, ans I'm sure Lord Tennyson himself would be proud! Thank you.
I find your content easily the most enjoyable content I have ever watched on this platform. The way you teach and the lessons you give during the process about patience and paying attention to the details are just so comforting. I'm a book binding teacher myself and these are really helpful and inspiring, thank you!
I've watched enough FKBA videos to know the results will be amazing but I'm still never prepared for just how dazzling each new project turns out! 😲😎📖🧙👏
Fantastic as always -- and I swear that book is smiling. You're the fairy godfather of neglected books; that one's gone from Cinder-fella to Prince Charming.
It would be a harder ask that I not tune back in to see what you get up to next, I think. It's fascinating and inspiring. One of your prior playlists is why I've obtained the non-adhesive binding book and some rudimentary supplies to get started. Thank you for sharing the craft and your love of it.
Words cannot describe how happy your videos make me! I look forward to each new video you upload, and what new project you'll be working on. Please keep up your extraordinary work! And thank you for bringing us with you.
I have to applaud the quality of the video editing here. It's easy to feel transported into Dennis's workshop as he explains and demonstrates everything in such a well-paced manner Thank you so much for yet another great book binding series. I can't wait for the next one 😊
Seeing such attention and care given to objects with value so easily overlooked gives me a pleasure I cannot easily explain. It just feels 'right', 'goodly', and even 'noble' in its own unique way… Keep up the good work! Future generations send their gratitude! 🤓❤️❤️❤️
Another incredible work of art! These are mine and my wife's favourite videos to watch in the evening while we relax. Always grateful for your hard work, both in the bookbinding itself but also in the filming and editing of these amazing videos.
Hello Dennis, thank you very much for this series and all your videos. They are incredibly healing. You have restored and rebuilt something which was on the brink of non-existence. I wonder, if the book is conscious (I'm not saying it isn't), how wonderful it must feel. How incredibly lucky to cross paths with you and your intent. I think, when we review our lives, at the very end, without pretense and posturing, it will be acts such as these that will reveal our life worth. How much we created, how much beauty we brought to the world that desperately needs it. What was our intent. How much we healed - objects, people, nature. I feel blessed by being able to see your work of passion, your peace and kindness. Thank you and have a beautiful holiday season. You and your loved ones.
Hi Dennis, Thank you for taking the time and trouble to video this amazing restoration and share this truly wonderful transformation, it is a view into the work that book restoration requires and you with the video have shown the skills that bring a 130-year-old book back to life. Your attention to detail is incredible and the dedication that you commit is a credit to you. Thank you Dennis and I eagerly await further videos from your Binary. 10/10 5*****
A former shell of itself, it hath returned to looking downright dapper. Incredible work as always. I so love to watch you work and create these gorgeous books!
Book binding is fascinating to me. It's approachable enough that even I can do it, but the upper level of skill is something truly masterful to watch. Thank you for sharing that level of skill.
I have an 1860s copy of the Collected works of Percy Bysse Shelley and can only hope to achieve a result half as good as this. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this series and giving me the inspiration to do what needs to be done.
One of the best Channel UA-cam, the videography, the attention to detail and the high quality nature of it not to mention the time you take to rebind these books. It truly shows passion and love for what you do and i will continue to support.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Thanks to your videos I’ve been able to make a 7 volume set for a series I can’t get a physical copy, your channel has truly made me appreciate all the incredible work that goes into make a book by hand.
4 year ago I was looking into book binding and your chanel helped me immensely to be able to make the book, I'm so grateful for being able to see more and more of your work and makes me want to begin a project from anew
For me these restorations videos are the most relaxing things to watch. Thank you very much for them. Great work on that book too, it really is an impressive transformation!
Amazing work as always. Interesting new methods for binding a book. I like the 3/4 leather covering look with the book cloth to finish it. The labeling is an interesting way of approach, not sure how I feel about it, it doesn't look bad, but it also doesn't look like it belongs to the book, should be interesting to see how it will look in the future after it weathers.
So impractical in the modern world, awesome to watch. Thank you for keeping these skills alive and sharing with the rest of us! I wish I could afford a few of my favorite books given this treatment.
Thanks to your videos I've now almost completely restored an extremely important to me book from 1926 which used to be completely falling apart. Thank you so very much Dennis!
I have absolutely loved watching your videos, and I would absolutely love to see you restore an older copy of one of the Sherlock Holmes stories. seeing your interpretation/ re-imagining of a cover for a book like that would be very interesting.
This is making me wish to try to restore the cover on my grandfather's grandmother's bible. It's from 1874, so 150 years old, and printed in blackletter fraktur. I love that she's written notes in pencil in the margins (even harder to read than the print!) and the book was obviously well-loved since it is extremely dilapidated. I reckon I'd need to practice a lot on some less important books first, but your videos are a great resource!

@@FourKeysBookArts well if you do make another video ill come watch it. :D
This has easily become one of my favorite channels on UA-cam.
I just wanted to share, that thanks to your videos I started and made my first notebook in leather c::
That is awesome!
A master class in bookbinding! Thank you for sharing your art with us. Your videos are superb. A joy to watch, every time.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
If you take suggestion I would love another series of rebinding a classic, similair to your dune one.
Maybe something like the hobbit or a collection of fairytales

It certainly is, which is part of the joy of it. I love when I discover some new tip or technique that solves a problem I've experienced personally. Thanks for watching!
Could you do the gold on the leather before you put it on the spine? Sort of like a bigger version of the label?
@@lornacy i imagine you would potentially get some warping of the text
@@lewisdraper1 Ah, good point. I hadn't thought of that. The leather on the spine gets stretched a bit, doesn't it?
Thanks!
So many tips and tricks! It's fabulous that you were able to salvage that book in such an elegant way. Really appreciate that you share your knowledge. Thanks for the great videos.
My pleasure! I'm glad you found the series helpful.
I've been waiting patiently for Episode 3. And it was well worth the wait. It is amazing to see the difference in the book afterwards. So magical to watch. Thank you Sir for sharing your skills.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite UA-camr is uploading so often I'm so lucky to have found your channel
There's something calming and almost meditative in watching you work.
Thanks for the half hour of peace and entertainment first thing in the morning.
I am blown away with how good this looks! You are a very talented craftsman.
That's a very intricate and difficult art, book binding. Absolutely amazing work.
What an absolute pleasure it's been following this repair. Thank you.
saved a 130 year old book. beautiful!
I sincerely love watching you at work. Your process, along with your calming voice just makes this so much more enjoyable. Thank you for these.

I'll be honest, when I saw books bound like this I thought the book cloth went _under_ the leather. Learn something new every day.
Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing time watching a craftsman at work. 📓👍

What a fantastic result. I loved following the process.
what a beautiful journey it was. looking forward to the next one. plz dont make us wait long.
I finally understand why my book clothes have glue spots : no press ! Just a brick. It’s enough.
A great thank you !
Another lovely video series. I have no idea why the YT algorithm decided I needed to see your work, but I'm glad it did!
That was a beautiful job, it’s so mesmerizing the amount of work behind each project and the result it’s simply beautiful
Amazing to see how bad its condition was initially and how beautiful it has become. Amazing work as always!
Fantastic as always -- and I swear that book is smiling. You're the fairy godfather of neglected books; that one's gone from Cinder-fella to Prince Charming.
Absolutely beautiful Dennis. What a treat to watch. Your videos too are amazing. Thank you so much. From South Africa xxx
Thanks for keeping the art alive!

Such an amazing (and enjoyable) series.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Impressive, you have an art form when you bring books back to life.
Lovely series. The final before and after shots are incredible, you definitely breathed new life into that book.
Greetings and compliments from the Netherlands! Big fan of your videos, as well as your creations and restorations.
Thank you very much!
En zo denk ik er ook over.

It is a pleasure to watch your work. Your attention to detail....chef's kiss!!
Watching the whole process was very enjoyable. Thank you for the informative videos. I can’t wait for the next series.
I am torn between the videos with commmentary and the ASMR videos without it. Both are wonderful and informative!
What an absolutely gorgeous final piece ❤
Amazing job Denis. Love to watch your transformations. The book binding you do is simply stunning!!!

I love seeing video's again from you! What an amaing result! If onky I could just have a beautiful notebook made like that...And maybe I can!
Beautiful work on an everyday object
A former shell of itself, it hath returned to looking downright dapper. Incredible work as always. I so love to watch you work and create these gorgeous books!
I like the wrapped bricks. As someone who's seen the paper made for the end papers, I know it was a bit of work to make them presentable.
I really like that two tone color. It looks very nice.
Book binding is fascinating to me. It's approachable enough that even I can do it, but the upper level of skill is something truly masterful to watch. Thank you for sharing that level of skill.

I find myself looking around for old books in my collection that could be bound. Thanks 👍 ❤
Beautiful work, beautiful narration! Thanks for the journey through all three parts.
I am speechless. Beautiful craftsmanship!
just beautiful, Dennis.
I love how well this book came out. I bet the bookstore owner would be amazed.
So much love for this book that most of us have never heard of. It's inspiring. And a reminder that all knowledge is precious
Thank you for sharing your experience. Thanks to your videos I’ve been able to make a 7 volume set for a series I can’t get a physical copy, your channel has truly made me appreciate all the incredible work that goes into make a book by hand.
Would be such a cool book to own

That bone folder is a very versatile tool. Thanks for sharing your fantastic work.
I swear one of these days I want to try my hand at bookbinding... you're such an inspiration!
now a beautiful book! thank you!🦌💌❤️📚
It’s gorgeous. Now to read it…..😊
Thanks
My pleasure!
TRULY BEAUTIFUL ❤
i've loved watching this series and looking forward to the next !!
Thanks to your videos I've now almost completely restored an extremely important to me book from 1926 which used to be completely falling apart. Thank you so very much Dennis!
Nice work!
Absolutely stunning transformation!
Truly beautiful craftsmanship
I am in awe of your art. It is truly magnificent and I enjoy every second watching you work!❤

Thank you SO much Dennis, this was a truly inspired project- crafting excellence paired with preservation. A triumph! 🏆🙏🏻
