I hope no one gets annoyed with this message. I have in my possesion what I believe to be a valuable book. Title: The Soldier in our Civil War Vol. II The J.H. Brown Publishing Co. 83 Chamber St. New York City 1885 Boston: Thompson, Brown & Co Subscription Dept. It's a very old , very large Black Leather Book. The problem is not only does it need a new binding, but the pages are becoming very fragile. Can any one suggest where to bring this book to restore it, before it is completely ruiened.

Hi, Am cleaning out my email files this morning, and came across yours. In reading the replies from others on the list, I see that no one addressed your question about having the book rebound. Mechling Bookbindery restores and rebinds old bibles and other books. IT is a small family-owned business that realizes and appreciates the value of old books and quality is a way of life with them. They are located in Chicora, PA, and could advise you on the best way to put the book in their hands. You can contact Allen or Marla Mechling at: http://www.mechlingbooks.com or 1-800-941-3735 Alice Gayley ssciro wrote: > I hope no one gets annoyed with this message.
