I was happy to give this book a new life. It was a fitting birthday present for a cousin in the States who has family origins in Switzerland.
Journal Chansonnier des Sections Romandes du Club Alpin Suisse
Something I enjoy doing is rescuing old books – like this songbook from 1909 containing Swiss songs about the Alps. Its cover is what initially attracted me. The book itself was in very sad shape – pages were loose, the binding broken. I took it apart and reworked it. I adhered new decorative paper to the inside and back covers, kept some of the original pages, added lined paper for notes and blank paper for sketches or photos, plus a pocket at the back. I brushed on a light coat of varnish to the front and back covers (to protect and seal), then bound it with my Zutter Bind-it-all.
