Uses For Parchment And Leather In Books And Beyond
Leather and parchment have been around for hundreds of years, and have provided many uses beyond what you are probably aware. One of the most common uses of these materials occurs in the binding of books. Since the advent of the printing press, parchment and leather have factored in heavily, not just to the binding of a book, but to the paper between the covers. Parchment and leather are animal skins, which have been chemically altered to avoid the damages of rot. The properties of these materials are perfect for housing print and have long been a source for preserving knowledge and entertainment down through the ages.
While leather bound books and parchment continue to serve the book industry, they also boast a variety of other uses including use in furniture. It is conceivable that you could be reading a book while lying on the very same material and not even know it. The differences lay in the fact that animal skins are handled and altered in different manners by craftsmen who know what they're doing to produce anything from an all leather couch to a leather bound novel. There are few if any limitations to the material, and recent years have seen developments that not even the olden days could have foreseen.
For example, before cars came along, no one would have ever suspected that leather could be used for the interior of an object capable of 100 miles per hour or more. While leather has been used for footwear quite a while, constant advancements are being made in how the skins are treated to produce new levels of comfort and functionality. Shoes from leather dress attire to athletic apparel serve very different functions within the same general use, adding to the unique nature of these materials with the general public.
Parchments also offer a variety of heavier duty functions like being used to create drumheads and as a hinge material for instruments that require use. Your home may also make liberal use of parchment through interior wall and furniture paneling. Combined with leather, these animal skins are some of the most multi-functional materials in use today. From clothing to manufacturing, the many ways that these materials continue to serve society make them some of the most efficient materials out there in an age where the "E" word means everything.
If you have been thinking leather and parchment are materials reserved for library shelves, think again. In a given day, there are a number of additional uses that you encounter without even realizing it. But animal skins of any kind are only as good as the people treating them. So when you choose leather or parchment, make sure that it comes from a quality source.

should i have an A A MILNE leather book with missing spine restored?
I have a now we are six by A A Milne leather bound book (4th ed) with a missing spine should i get it restored or not (would it be worth it) and where could i get this done
I am a book dealer and here should be the considerations:
Restoring a book, especially leather the right way can be extremely expensive. ($75-100 minimum)
Is this an American or English edition? If it's American--don't bother if money is a real consideration.
The fact that it is a 4th edition calls into question how much this restored volume would be worth. True collectors are going to be looking for 1st editions in excellent condition. Generally a hard core collector is not going to want a restored book no matter how well its done.
Is the spine the only thing missing? Missing pages would mean this isn't a good idea.
If you would just like to do it because it is such a great book then you would contact a bookbinder in your local area. It is always best however to be referred to someone knowledgable who does quality work.
