Hello Everyone!
I took a gamble and purchased an old copy of Dune without even seeing a photo of it. What I received might surprise you, and what I did to it might alarm you, but I think all the drama will be worth it in the end. I hope you think so too.
If you'd like to skip ahead:
Part 2: • Rebinding DUNE - Part ...
Part 3: • Rebinding DUNE - Part ...
FINALE: • Rebinding DUNE - FINAL...
Cheers,
Dennis

PLEASE do more book binding of classic novels. I’ve heard that you can print texts from Project Gutenberg. I would love to see you binding some classic novels and customize it. I am very new to book binding and my goal is to one day bind my own copies of my favorite novels

@FourKeysBookArts 3 месяца назад

Definitely on my radar 👍👍 Did you see my Dickens project from December?

@e-artemas7295 3 месяца назад

@@FourKeysBookArts I absolutely loved it. There aren’t a lot of videos on YT that show binding a real book. Would you consider binding a copy of Moby Dick with illustration by Barry Moser it’s my dream book to bind (I’m talking about the Arion Press publish but it’s extremely expensive and rare, but the best looking Moby Dick book in my opinion)

@AirwolfCrazy 3 месяца назад

I have done this. I printed and bound Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The copy I did has the original text and a modern translation. It is seen on cords, wooden covers, and green goat leather. The decoration is a simple 14th C design.

Bonus points for the green leather, good choice!

on the contrary, I think he would be horrified to see him removing glue in a manner that damaged the book further. I wish he had been watching Baumgartner, it might have given him some ideas about possibly less damaging ways of removing the glue

I am fortunate to own a hand-bound hardback edition of The Lord of the Rings. The ancient bookbinder was an acquaintance of mine. He took the three volumes and bound them into one block, leather bound, with gold cuts and lettering. Love this item, as it reminds me of him every time I pick it up.

Yup the page groups are sewn together for the structural integrity the string provides. Then covered to protect them.

@irene_xiv 2 месяца назад

i have a degree in publishing and i am also a seamstress and they are very similar crafts i think, i love how something so simple like some sheets of paper or a piece of fabric can be manipulated and folded and sewn to create a whole new complex object (bonus: i can use many of the same tools for both of these practices haha) this video reminded me of my internship for the last year of university, very nostalgic feeling

With the amount of repair this book needed you may as well count this as a conversion from a double fan bound book to a case binding, something I don't think I've ever seen put into practice. Truly an incredible job!

Two Dutch words come to mind while watching this video: Engelengeduld (Angels patience) and Monnikenwerk (Monks' work). Brilliant video, I love every step of it!

@negotiableaffections 3 месяца назад

I suppose 'rescuing' this copy could be quite a subjective argument but even as a 'labour-of-love' project it demonstrates just what can be done to give more life to an old book. Modern (just dip the whole spine in glue) techniques frustrate me because I open some copies made this way and its like a magician riffling a deck of cards into the air - and all single pages too! Modernisation is NOT always Improvement. Having said that, I'm astounded at the patience you have but, then again, its SO worth it. Looking forward to part 2, Dennis, keep up the good work!

@FourKeysBookArts 3 месяца назад

You make a good point. I could have approached this book from a strictly conservation angle; fix the boards and tears, maybe some light repair to the spine, etc. But I want this to be both a showpiece and a working reading copy of the book, and I wouldn’t trust the old binding to hold up for another 50 years. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the comment!

@FourKeysBookArts 3 месяца назад

I put it all inside the folds, with the exception of the outer sheet of each signature, which had it on the back. That way it makes kind of a sandwich when it’s sewn, if that makes any sense. Thanks for watching and for the question too! Now I want a sandwich.😂

Thank you for this amazing video, and for giving Dune its rightful place in science fiction literature. I remember reading it for the first time in the early 1980’s and being blown away. No other science fiction that I’ve read has come close to creating such a compelling, strange and cohesive world. None of the subsequent books in the series have interested me, but Frank Herbert will always be celebrated for Dune.
