Advice on book Restoration
Posted By: Jason Mishelow
Due to the weak market on books and a willingness to purchase less then mint/fine condition materials I have been able to put together a decent collection of late 19th century item such as Changing Base 1868. American Boy's Book 1864, Boy's Own book 1844, A ball players career 1900. I am less concerned about the appereance of the books then the fact it is difficult to look through them when they suffer from weak hinges, broken text blocks ect and would like to have them restored to be more stable. my question is does anyone have any suggestions for a good person to use- there is no one local so location matters little (though if you knew someone in the Milwaukee Chicago area it would be a plus) Second what if a fair price for the type of work i am talking about. Finally would I be better off justing having the books totally restored (i.e. rebound over covers) rather then trying to save a bit on just stablizing them |

I would try to retain the original covers if you could. I'd rather have an original book with some condition problems than one with the covers replaced. |

I have used Graphic Conservation here in Chicago where I live. The have done a very nice job on some paper items and photographs I have in my collection. They cost a little bit more but it might give you a place to start. Their website is graphicconservation.com |
