PALM HOUSE BOOK RESTORATION

I am an antiquarian book restorer with 40 years experience. I am located in the south of England, UK. I am very experienced in all aspects of restoration and conservation, and of course the refurbishment of old bindings. For example Rebacks, (preserving and relaying the original spine) Corner repairs, etc. Rebinds, Full Leathers, (Fullbound) Halfbound, Quarterbound, all bound in various calf leather, morocco leather, cloth, or paper.

Restoring old books to their former glory is one of the most exacting procedures I undertake. This painstaking process of restoration requires patience and expertise; the result is not only elegant and impressive, but also essential if the item is to be preserved for future generations.

The process of returning a book, document, or other archival material as nearly as possible to its original condition. The entire scope of 'restoration' ranges from the repair of a torn leaf, or removal of a simple stain, the complete rehabilitation of the material, including, at times, resizing, filling in of missing parts, resewing, replacement of endpapers and or boards, recovering or restoration of the original covering material, and re-finishing in a manner sympathetic to the time of the original binding of the publication.

Restoration therefore, encompasses virtually the entire range of book - mending, repairing, rebinding, and reconstruction.
