| So
why would I like to own a book bound in an historic
manner? You might want to use a facsimile book in a
Living History display. It could be a repair to a precious
ancient book in order to conserve it for future generations.
You might have a special book that may not be too old
but is in need of repair to preserve happy memories.
The first
question you should ask yourself is should I have it
done? The value of a rare book could actually decrease
if your were to have it rebound. Maybe you should have
a fitted box or sleave made to contain it in so that
there will be no further deterioration from shelf wear
and exposure to the sun.
