The Book Surgeon My father Bernard was a book binder for 55 yrs so I was lucky enough to learn most of my skills from him. This page shows some examples of my work.

Some will date from the early 18th century. Check out my "Book Sculptor" page for a modern twist!

Contains a letter from the RMS Empress of Ireland. An ocean liner that sank May 1914. Although the ship was equipped with watertight compartments, and in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster two years earlier, carried more than enough lifeboats for all onboard, she foundered in only 14 minutes. Of the 1,477 people on board, 1,012 died, making it the worst peacetime marine disaster.
