BOOKBINDER SOUGHT 

   Paul DiMarzio writes: "Your E-Sylums have finally tempted 
   me into joining the NBS.  I sent in my application last week. 

   I have a simple question.  I have a nice book from the 1850's 
   on British coinage that needs repair.   The binding and spine 
   have separated, leaving the pages loose.  I'd like to have the 
   book re-bound to make it useful,  keeping the original cover. 
   Do you have any contacts for this kind of work?  This is not 
   a rare book and it only cost me $40 so I'm not looking for a 
   full-blown conservation effort, just want to make the book 
   useful as a reference (in other words, I need a relatively 
   inexpensive repair job!).  I have one estimate of $60+ 
   (minimum charge, pending a look at the book).  Thanks in 
   advance for any information you might have." 

   [Doesn't anyone have a book conservator to recommend? 
   Last week Dick Hanscom asked a similar question, but 
   we've had no response.  I've never known our E-Sylum 
   readers to be stumped for long...]
