i found a place , Duffys on Seville Place, and left it in today and they will do the job for e30 and i can pick it up this Friday.

Great , let us know how you get on .

It's hard to find a book restorer whose fees won't completely absorb the value of the book .

i picked up the above mentioned book and i a happy with the results. it didn't need a new cover but it had come away from the pages which were fine except for a few loose pages.

they were not pushy in the shop and i found them fine. the price ,e30, for the repairs in my opinion was reasonable . duffys is on Seville Terrace and not Place as i said above.

I've used this place in the past and found them very good and reasonable- they had to complete a specialist job in preserving the original cover so it was a bit more than what you would usually expect to pay but the end product was excellent.
