"joining trough a branch" is the editor's own and recurs in later issues.]

Saturday Presentation on Book Binding
Ksenia Kopystyńska is a book conservator and designer bookbinder. She is the owner of Ars Libri Designer Bookbinding and Book Restoration Studio in Kingston, Ontario.
Ksensia spent Saturday afternoon with us talking and presenting information on book binding and leather conservation. We also got to do some hot stamping.
It was a very informative presintation some of the slides were very interesting.
Kesenia brought her companion with her for a visit.
Check out her web site. www.arslibribooks.com
[The last two lines are two separate captions standing side by side under two photographs; read straight across, they run together into "Kesenia brought her companion with Check out her web site. / her for a visit. www.arslibribooks.com". They are set out here as the two separate captions the page shows. The guest's name is printed three ways on this one page — Ksenia, Ksensia, Kesenia — as is "presintation"; all are the editor's own and are kept as printed.]
