Default Advice on book Restoration

Posted By: Max Weder

Jason

I use two restorers. Fraser Spafford Ricci http://www.fsrconservation.com/> does conservation work for the Vancouver and Seattle art galleries.

For more minor repairs such as repairing hinges and replacing missing endpapers, I have another local restorer. To find one in your area, you should contact the local art museum or higher end galleries, as most art restorers will also have the capability to restore paper, or will know someone who can.

Getting a book rebound is definitely a last resort. Many books can be stabilized with a new backstrip and repaired hinges.
