Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh - Adopt A Book Scheme

As part of their efforts to raise funds to assist in the conservation of their vast and extensive collection we were asked by The Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, on Monday this week, to take part in an evening designed to raise awareness of the collection and its conservation needs.

We laid on a display of some of our work, tools and materials and were on hand to discuss the ins and outs of bookbinding and how we can assist in conserving the library's collection.
The evening was well attended and the guests went away with a better idea of the needs of the library and how and funds raised would be employed.

These images show our display as well as the library's own display of volumes
