Yesterday I spent the whole day in the building shown above. I booked a two day book repairing course at the Haus der Kulturinstitute. It is impressive walking into an entrance hall filled with lots of statues. The building also accommodates the Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke München (Replica of classic statues).
I enjoyed the course a lot and learned a few methods how to repair damaged books. The 8 hours we worked in the book bindery just flew by. Below you can see a repaired paperback with a new cover and 3 repaired books which will receive a hardcover next week.
Next Sunday we also have the chance to learn how to bind our own books. If I have the time I will make my own sketchbook. I wish the course would have been a bit longer than only 2 days. Maybe daily? :)

Sounds absolutely fabulous! Can't wait to see the new covers. :)
I would love to learn how to do this but admit that I can't take anything new on...that said, I look forward to seeing yours.
That looks so interesting.
Is it still fun?
What a lovely kit! I'm excited to follow along with you. Have fun!
I had so much fun and experienced a lot last week. I guess it was the best week of 2008. ;)
I´ll be back to post more about it but now I´m off to bed.
