I have received a valuable/rare set of books on World history and whilst the inner pages are in very good order the hardcovers and

binding is terrible on some books and some restoration/replacement of the covers and/or binding is necessary!!!

Does anyone know of "reputable/professional" book restorers?? I would need a top-class job done and know it won't be cheap.

I have been searching on the internet and can't find anyone in Thailand that does this admittedly specialist job. Other countries like

England and America aren't a problem.......but I would hope that surely somewhere in Thailand carries out professional book restortion??

I live in Pattaya but of course am willing to travel anywhere within Thailand,though would think that Bangkok would be the most likely

place to have such a service!!!

Thanks a lot.

If I were you I would contact the National Library in Bangkok.

They may at least come up with an idea/recommendation where to find such service.

Thanks for that, as you say it may at least be a starting point.

There is a excellent antiquarian bookshop in Amarin Plaza just by Chidlom Skytrain. Run by a very well informed Australian, I am sure he would advise you and know the answer.

Sorry that I don't immediately have his details but Googling would surely find him.

The other similar shop is Orchid Books in Thaniya Paza on Silom and though he is mainly new books, again he might be able to help.
