The cloth book repair course moves on from the Paper and Section Repair Course. The repair course will cover a broad range of repair from simple cleaning to rebacking and rebinding with a focus on what is best for the book. Often simply re-enforcing a bumped corner might be enough. Other times if the spine and hinge are damaged, a reback might be more appropriate. If sewing is broken, pulling a book down may be necessary. Repairing existing books and using as much of the existing materials as possible can be daunting but very doable – but you need to consider the existing materials suitability and repairability and why you want a repair.
We will provide suitable books to work on but you may bring your own book to be assessed for suitability.
Attendance at the paper repair course is not essential but a knowledge of paper repair would be a great advantage.

Our annual visit (date rescheduled) will be to the newly renovated O‘Donovan Library at Parliament House. This will be an exclusive tour for QBG when we will get a chance to see and (mostly) handle some of their most significant bindings including the work of several QBG Members.
We will meet at about 10.25 in the Coffee Shop for a 10.30 tour. The Coffee Shop is on level 5 of the Annexe and you can either arrive early to have a morning coffee/tea first, or meet us at 10.25.
To enter the building go to the Annexe entrance in Alice Street, and go through security first. All bags will be x-rayed.
Please register so we know to expect you. You will need to bring photo ID (a physical card) for entry via security.
