Book Repair/ Binding

[Anonymous]

Looking to have my grandmother’s favorite childhood book repaired and/ or rebound. Preferably somewhere in MD, but willing to drive further out for this specialized skill. The book is from 1926 and she has read it to my mom and us many times.
The value is all in the sentiment and would like to preserve it

I did find Distinctive Bookbinding in Rockville and it looks promising

I think you could probably find a mail order service.

With a precious book, as with stuffies and lovers, you might consider getting a backup one. Or looking for a digitized copy. There are many used book sites...it's amazing what is on offer.

Thank you very much! ( I did try to search but must not have used the right terms) great idea also to have a backup.
