Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Douglas Cockerell amava i libri come oggetti fisici, e voleva che tu ti prendessi cura dei tuoi nel modo giusto. Questa guida spiega come i libri vengono cuciti, rilegati e scritti, come invecchiano pelle e carta, e come riparare i danni o impedirli. Scrive per collezionisti, bibliotecari e chiunque abbia uno scaffale amato a casa. I diagrammi di rilegatura restano nell'edizione stampata, ma la sua cura e la sua abilità emergono chiaramente nelle parole.
