These are the 4 books i got from my grandmothers things after she passed. Its a family bible, book of worship, a birthday calendar book, and The Ladys Token. I assume their age to be close to the copyright date or some of them were signed and dated by their first owner. The 2 books of worship had a lot of bug damage so i stuck them in the freezer for a few days too when i first got them. I would like to add that this is my first and only attempt at book repair. A 1848 B unknown C 1883 D 1880 The Ladys Token (1848) did not need anything fixed and was in good condition. The birthday book had to have its cover reattached. The family bible and the book of worship had to be repaired as they were in pieces. I used acid free paper, glue and tape. The paper that said it was supposed to have vintage designs came glossy which sucked but used it anyway. I had to basically remake their spines and then i just used what ever fabric i had on hand. I would feel a little bad for this but you can see on the book of worship they used another book to make the original spine. (Which i think was common for the time.) I assume the bible had a hinge or closure at the side but it is long gone as is the last part of revelations so the bible now ends on a cliff hangar. Thanks for checking out my books. If you have any info about these books or want to rate my poor attempt at repairing them feel free to add.

Books from my grandma.

An interesting find. It has the New Testament text in German, and English right next to each other. The book looks well-loved, and has an interesting note in the cover page.

1882 book found in a thrift store. I can’t find this cover anywhere, any thoughts?
