BOOK RESTORATION SERVICE.
We restore any book younger than 1800 making your grotty, broken old books look like beautifully-cared-for precious old books. DUST JACKETS IN FACSIMILE. We provide colour copies of any DUST JACKETS in our stock.

All our books are cleaned, restored if necessary and covered in polyethylene (clear plastic).  ALL our books are thoroughly cleaned, restored if necessary and covered in 50 or 75 micron High Density Poly Ethylene ( “plastic” archival acetate film) Soft-covers and hard-covers without Dust Jackets are covered in adhesive plastic. Covering book means that the common edge-wear described by so many dealers is mostly absent in our books. All “plastic” is easily removable and is not adhered to the book nor to the dust jacket. We do not use sellotape nor any other tape which discolours. We restore books where necessary and describe only exceptions to a perfect state. Faults in expensive books are described in detail. Once restored, the majority of “faults” are visible only with great difficulty. Please be guided by the very full descriptions. No faults are described in a cheaper book, please be guided by the condition.

Tony my mate, from Antoine,

I had the pleasure and good fortune of meeting Tony over 10 years ago, and I am pleased to call him my friend. Tony is the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to collecting books and other things. At his age, Tony is an inspiration to others that life is meant for living.
