V4 2001 INDEX       E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 25, June 17, 2001, Article 6 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...]
