Conservation & Repair |
|
||
|
|
Nearly every book that has come apart can be
put back together in more than one way.
Two or three options of repair, restoration or conservation for most
bindings, means there are two or three price ranges. It is your book and you make a choice once
a clear explanation of the process involved is given to you. Private or institutional collections can be
assessed on site and often work can be done in-house as well. |

repair work is done, ready for another few hundred years… |
