If you like, I could ask my Dad if he’s willing to send you some advice. He’s not a professional book binder, but he as a book dealer he’s no stranger to restoration techniques.
Nate: I have also been searching the web but i figured i'd also ask on message boards not only to get more opinions but because i like talking to other people instead of just finding the answer to my question and being done with it
Max: if it's not too much trouble that would be appreciated
