This brings back memories. Years ago, I did an apprenticeship at a manual bookbinder's. On quiet days, I could help the bookbinder's wife restore antique books. Loved every minute of it. Pity I couldn't do restoration full-time, so I decided to become a teacher instead. Another way to spend time with books.

As a followup to this, you should tour the Boston Athenaeum restoration and special libraries. It's a wonder and they have an event once a year or so where members can go in and make their own books. :)

Maybe a book publisher can also reprint these books as well. If they're valuable, there should be more copies of it here and there.

I love books and I love libraries. It's silly to me that I've never heard of this before today. Thank you for all that you do!
