I found a book of sweet James Thurber drawings in the Oxfam Bookshop. It's 59 years old. The book was in fair condition but the dustjacket was all tattered and crumbly, so I decided to try and fix it. It's not a great job, but I didn't want to end up spending eight times more on the jacket than I'd spent on the book.
Had to do a bit of patching here and there, I used a brown fineliner and
snippets from bits of the jacket I'd already cut off,
so it should all age at the same rate.
My handwriting is near enough to the calligraphy on the cover that this looks okay.
One of the drawings inside!
