I chose this copy of The Fishing Tourist for rebinding as the text block was generally clean but the binding had suffered serious damage. When I received the rebound book from Debra Frances, I was delighted to find a portion of the original binding’s spine and endband pasted to new front free endpaper. Small details such as this that preserve the physical history of a specific copy of a book are one of the things I love about book collecting.
