cgbachRestoring old books
Many years ago a friend of my father's gave him a 2 vol. set of 'The Encyclopedia of Sport'. I believe it was published in 1897. In it are articles on hunting, shooting, guns, fishing, etc. authored by all of the great writers of that time. As a kid I about wore the covers off the two books. Now the covers are starting to fail and the bindings are going. I believe my dad's friend had them rebound before giving them to him as a Christmas present. So the question is, is there anyone out there that can restore or replace the covers and fix the bindings? I like to reread these books and I don't want to let them self destruct.

BaxterBTry Pavel’s book repair in a Washington. Just know by reputation, haven’t had work done myself. He does have a website and Instagram so you can see before and after.
