1907 Book of Mormon Repair

January 19, 2019 by Brandon

Date: 1907

Owner: Brigham Young University, Harold B. Lee Library, Special Collections

Measurements: 80 x 130 x 22 mm

Previous Condition:

Leather cover yaps at head, tail and fore edge deteriorating, spine broken, housing needed.

Treatment:

Re-build cover, repair yaps, total re-back, custom housing

This 1907 edition of the Book of Mormon was made economically and travel sized. This particular one has been well loved and used. Repairing the leather extensions (or yaps as we like to call them) were initially made to protect the text block. I think they did their job well and now they need a little TLC.
