There is honour in having a worn down book with creases on its spine and dogeared corners and highlighter marks on its pages and a cover that barely resembles anything anymore. But, sometimes, a book gets a little too roughed up and is on the brink of falling apart and needs fixing. You can fix it! Or, well, this magician of a man can. He restores old books with the utmost care.
There are tweezers and ironing and shaving and chopping and spraying and cutting and measuring and so much work in the restoration process. It’s unbelievable how he can transform something so old and make it brand new again.
