Vanessa, thank you so much for sharing your book preservation work. I love books as working objects. I regularly have idle thoughts about taking a bookbinding course. I have a question – possibly a dumb one and far beneath what you do. It’s about a perfect-bound paperback cookbook I own. This week, the cookbook broke in two. Is there anything I can do to fix it or should I find and buy another copy? The book isn’t rare or expensive, but I’ve had it a long time and it’s the first book I did any serious cooking with.

Wow, just wow. I’m so happy you helped preserve the Haitian histories. Your book loving goes beyond what I knew about. What a wonderful life occupation. Thanks so much for the enrichment 🌹
