All the signatures were loose and/or separated and needed to be resewn together, which wasn't a huge deal.

The book is a counting book and went up to the number 12, but since it was missing 12, and I thought that 11 was a weird number to end at, I got rid of 11 and had the book end at 10. I had to peel off the back endsheet of the book so that I could replace it with the last page of 10; I was going to pull off the front endsheet but it wasn't going to come off without being destroyed, and I didn't have an existing portion of the book that would work for a coversheet. So I decided to sew the remaining signatures directly into the book.

Thank you SO much for fixing this for me. I loved the illustrations in this book and thought there was no hope for this swap meet find. Thanks for fixing it so I didn't have resort to duct tape :)
