Book restorer is just a fancy title for a book doctor - a much needed and loved professional in today's world and among bookworms!

Dave, Thank you for sharing this video. I love old books and it's a treat to see how the restorations are done.

I have “The Prince and The Pauper” by Mark Twain copyright 1881. It was a beautiful green cover with gold stamping. I’d love to see it restored some day. I found it in my grandpa’s basement, not in the best shape.
