One Last Trip to Water Street Bindery 📚 Buy Day Friday 📚 April 28, 2023

In this week's "selfie edition" of #BuyDayFriday, Eric pays one last visit to the Water Street Bindery in Lancaster, PA. Having been in the business of antiquarian binding and repair since 1970, bookbinder Tony Haverstick is now winding down operations at the historic storefront.

Some of his incredible library has made its way to the Midtown Scholar, but Eric also got a closer look at some of Tony's own bookbinder's manuals, including the earliest known English book ON bookbinding.

Tony is amazing. I employed him to bind an old poetry book for my husband and it's beautiful! He will be missed.
