  1. I see this video circulating today : be aware that this is an ad for a bookbinder who wants do display their craftsmanship, not for real historical book restoration.

    If you have old books and would like them to stay in shape, prefer soft methods that respect their history.

    Here, two French examples on how it is made :

  4. It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: 100 years of The Blue Castle

    Today I’m bringing you a suggestion I have on my TBR, The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery, the same author of Anne of Green Gables. Contrary to Anne, this book was written for adults, so check its trigger warnings.

    The Blue Castle was first published in 1926, so it’s a good excuse to read it this year and celebrate its centenary. You can get the book through Project Gutenberg or, if you have a Kobo, through the specific format at Standard Ebooks.

    What are you reading?

    #Google used to use #ReCAPTCHA to digitise #oldBooks. A good and fair use of the #technology, if and only if, you can access said #books #freely. Remember the two word #CAPTCHAs, that's what they were.

    These latest ones are about helping produce #selfDrivingVehicles. I don't trust them to do this. I done trust anyone to do this.

    Don't do them.

    If you must, use the #voice variant, and be creative with it *wink*.
