Subject: Paper stock for rubbings
I was lucky enough to spend the better part of a week with Willman Spawn, noted scholar of American bindings. He has been cataloging binding tools by taking rubbings of their impressions with very thin paper. He advised me to contact a publishing house that produces Bibles and try to purchase blank waste paper from them for this purpose. This type of paper is stronger than typical tracing paper and yet thin enough to record the needed detail. Does anyone know of a source for this kind of paper? Thanks to all, in advance, for your help.
