I was recently asked by a viewer how I clean the vintage book covers I use to make journals. In this video I'll share what I look for when hunting for books and what I avoid. I happen to be working on some new journals using vintage books so I'll show you how I approach cleaning each one with their unique circumstances.

I have a couple of playlists for making journals with vintage books where you might find other helpful tips. Here are the links:
