I have used this place in the past. Obviously not terribly helpful if you're not in the area, but it might give you an idea as to the type of place you're looking for. If shipping ends up being the only option, I can't recommend them enough. http://www.arsobscurabookbinding.com/site/

You could also consult with the conservationist who recently joined the board. He did some great work with a poster shown in a previous thread. Not sure if he does books, but you could ask and he could probably give you an idea.
His user id is t.tomc

That was what I was hoping, so would definitely appreciate anyone who knows on this.

I would recommend having the entire yearbook deacidified to help preserve the yearbook. You can always fix the binding later, but at least it won't deteriorate any further as long as it is handled/stored properly. If you do have any additional work done on the binding I would suggest maintaining the original binding as much as possible and having the restorer replace the missing/damaged areas in a way that match the original. I personally like preserving as much of the original as posible. If done properly the restored areas would be almost indistinguishable from the original areas.

Good topic. Because the truth is paper deteriorates over time without preservation and protection time will steal part of history. Never an easy decision to restore or preserve an item but talking to folks at library of Congress or baseball hall if fame preservation is taken very seriously. Part of collecting is passing on to the next person next generation the things that have given us joy. I always go to pros and it has always worked out well. That said I have never tried to sell an item I had restored. Guess I only take on projects that I like.
