Lamp Light Rebinding

Latest rebinds I've done. I got two from a very special friend of mine. He runs a new beginnings house for men who have had a rough start in life and need a second chance, some of them a third or fourth. He has a truly inspirational story. His place is called Genesis House in Deridder, LA. The green one is one he got when he was going through a rough patch in his life and the blue one was given to him by his father. Love the way these two turned out.

Funny how things work out sometime. I've been rebinding bibles for a few months now and have done about 25 or so. What I haven't done yet is one that is what is considered a "full yapp". The word Yapp comes from an 18th century book binder named William Yapp who started doing this for pastors who would go from church to church and would carry their bibles in their saddlebags. The full yapp means that the ends and side of the bible cover meet in the middle to cover and protect the pages from damage. Most modern factory bibles have a partial or semi yapp that only extends about 3/8" to 1/2" past the end of the pages. In the modern rebinding world however a full yapp is how most of them are done. I had a gut feeling that one day someone would eventually want a full yapp rebind so I better do one as a practice. Well, lo and behold about a week after I did my practice run I got a call from a lady to do a rebind and after showing her all of her options she decided on a full yapp. The following pictures are of my practice rebind, the black rough grained goat skin and the client's bible which she decided on a dark green buffalo hide with a pearl white deer skin liner. Both have my new logo stamped on them.
