When I was a student, a student 'friend' of mine was learning bookbinding as a course option.
I was asked if I had a book that could be re-bound.
As a result I have a treasured, leather-bound copy of Winged Victory by Victor Yeates (Readers' Club edition).
FREE!.
There are plenty of Google-able bookbinding courses and every student must be looking for a worthy subject to motivate them.
Of course, being students, they may glue all the pages together while they're at it.
