 BookSmart  Book Repair and Bindery
 
Above are a few examples of aged or damaged books. The repair process
is a meticulous one that must be performed with careful attention to detail.
The restoration of books is in many ways a work of art, returning a tired
volume to its original condition without a trace of looking "touched up"
or "fixed" is a chore in itself.
