Plato's Makeover

Good afternoon! I've figured out a specific line of work for myself, and the first project is under way now. It was my dad's idea. He's a professor of philosophy, and here's his copy of Plato's Gorgias which is older than I am:

As you can see, it's not in good shape. The spine has cracked down the middle, and pages are falling out. He'd buy a new copy, but this one is full of two decades' worth of notes. It's a perfect candidate for re-binding.

While I'm working on the Gorgias, I'll also re-bind Dad's classroom copy of the Republic as a matched companion. Here they are with newly reinforced spines, waiting for a shipment of nice papers so I can make their covers.

I'll keep you all posted and show you finished pictures soon!
