Ancient Antiquarian Bookbinding - The lifetime of a book is extended every hundred years or so by rebinding. There are very few books that have not been rebound and those in need of rebinding are naturally falling to pieces through exposure to the elements and through use.<br />
<br />
Working for years with all manner of book vandalism has meant that Paul Tronson can resurrect anything even if the book has been caught in a fire or left in a roof for four hundred years. His ingenuity and bookbinding daring are legendary.<br />
