I bound my first Book - Devere's Tailoring Method 1866
I purchased scans of this book to begin tailoring Victorian clothes for our shows.
I did so reformatting, printed it booklet double-sided
Then followed an "Instructables" on home book binding, worked like a charm!
This was meant to be a learning practice piece, so I did not remove the BS copyright info from the seller.
My next copy will be better.
BTW I used our 241-12 to sew each of the seven 8 page sections down the center. They went through like butter...
Then wood glue and fabric.
The cover is a card stock covered in fabric, the inner plates are an art paper from JoAnns's

It was so fun, that I am (I know I know another project?) retyping the original document and going to make a clean copy and then bind a couple of those. I figured out a font and spacing that is resulting in exactly the same word breaks.... hehe dang ADHD.....
I tried to do OCR (Optical Character Recognition) of the original scans, but even with a serious cleanup pass first it could not get more than 5-10% correct
$100 for a USED copy of the 1986 REPRINT is just not in my DNA...
