I wanted to start restoring books as a hobby and found this one on EBay for only $20. Just wondering if it would be more of an advanced project or if itโ€™s okay for beginners. Or any advice on restoring or if it can even be restored๐Ÿ˜ญ

so for science, we had a choice to make a children's book and so I took that route seeing as I recently got the stuff I wanted for bookbinding but I need to type things out but I wanna apply a background and I can't seem to find an app to do that for free


apps I've tried are google docs, Adobe, and word microsoft

My 92 year old cookbook was damaged in a flood. Luckily, the water dissolved the glue so I was able to separate the endpapers from the cover and textblock in order to take the book apart and get everything dried out quickly. The endpapers are mostly undamaged, but they do have some wear from being almost a century old. I was thinking that I could back them with another piece of heavy paper for added strength and durability, but I was unsure if that's the best option.
