thank you so much for this Harry. Many years ago, I worked for a book binder. While most of my work was boring and mundane, we would at times get antique books in for repair. The most memorable of these for me was a first edition copy of "tale of two cities". My task in the laborious restoration process was to sew the sections back together with a very fine needle and thread. The pages were so thin and brittle it was a delicate and time consuming task. But oh how it felt to hold such a volume.
