#LazyWeb I'm in possession of a couple of old #books that are immensely valuable to me (Though not in any objective way), problem is their binding is starting to fall apart.
I assume someone on this planet makes a profession out of fixing such things, but I have no clue where to find these people.
Does anyone have any leads? Somewhere near the #PDX area is of course preferable, but not mandatory.

@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com go to Powells and ask at the rare book room if they have any recommended bookbinders.

@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com Major libraries often have people trained to do book repair for their collections and may be able to recommend somewhere that could help.

@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com If you don't get a better lead before, the 20th annual Rose City Book & Paper Fair on June 14-15, 2025 at 1000 NE Multnomah could be useful. https://rosecitybookfair.com/
