Book Repair and Restoration
The restoration of a book, whether a 17th century rarity, a family bible, or a 20th century favorite, requires a careful assessment of not only the repairs to be done, with appropriate materials to the period when needed, but of the "spirit" of the book and how best to preserve it. Preservation of the original binding is always the first consideration.
