Mendery Moment

I was talking with a professor about some rare 

Medieval manuscripts she’s been working with. 

They were found inside the binding of books. 

Working in the Mendery, I often do spine 

replacements on books. It isn’t uncommon to 

find publishers using whatever paper was handy 

to strengthen the spine text block. This is from 

a 1934 British book, using what looks like some 

Biblical text, with Greek. Sometimes I see old 

newspaper print. We use good quality paper 

these days.
