This started as a burst binding and I converted it to sewn on flat cords. I was reading this during my off time at a recent class at the American Academy of Bookbinding and decided I wanted to take a swing at breaking down this type of binding since so many of the books I enjoy are published this way. There are signatures after all...there's just also A LOT of glue...

wants to read Marius The Epicurean by Walter Pater

No cover

Walter Pater: Marius The Epicurean (Hardcover, 1939, The Modern Library)

 No rating

I sort of inadvertently became a collector of old Modern Library hardcovers. I was in my local used book shop this weekend nearly bought one before realizing I already had a copy.

To prevent this from happening in the future, I considered making a spreadsheet of which titles I already have, but then I realized I could make a list or shelf here on BookWyrm. I'm not sure which approach is best. Probably a list(?).

Feedback / links to relevant documentation appreciated. #modernlibrary #books #oldbooks #bookwyrm #bookcollection
