Does anybody here do bookbinding?

I have a webster's dictionary that I need to have rebound, I don't know how to do that kind of work myself so I was planning to hire it out to someone.

Over the past 20 years or so it's gone through a lot and needs some work.

There's nothing really special about it as far as books go, but it has some sentimental value. I won it in a newspaper contest when I was little, and it's been the family's main source for word references ever since. So for sentimental reasons I'd like to have it rebound and looking like new again.

 

Rebinding is expensive and a dying art. Search your yellow pages for a bookbinder or a bookdealer. But its gonna be expensive. I work for a rare bookdealer and we hardly ever rebind anything.

This is a good site if you feel brave
