Stitching endband of 1773 Primitive Physick

In this video, I am stitching the end band of my replica of my original 1773 "Primitive Physic" medical book that was first written and published by the Rev. John Wesley in 1749.

This fun and informative period medical book is 456 pages in length. The Rev. John Wesley (1703-1791) was not only the founder Methodism but also wrote widely in other areas of concern. Wesley realized that medicine was not available to all. His aim in writing “Primitive Physic” was to bring practical medical advice to workers and others who could not afford private doctors.

Gary Johanson, a Letterpress Printer and 18th century book collector. “Wow, could you imagine this book being hand-set in the native Caslon 337 OS /quaints & Figs, printed on genuine linen laid? I figure it would take me about three years to set, lock, print, collate into signatures, cut, and bind. Oh, and not on a Common Press, but on a 1965 Kluge! The price would average about $2000.00 per book, and would be worth every nickle! ...This version is a steal with the binding alone!"
