I'm sorry to say that I don't have any firsthand experience with a book restorer, and I don't know of anyone in the Atlanta area who does this, though I'm sure there must be somebody! The only book restorer I know of is a lovely little shop that I always stop by when I'm in Seattle. You can find them at <a href="http://www.arsobscurabookbinding.com" rel="nofollow">Ars Obscura</a>. It looks like they can take care of long-distance orders via shipping. You might also check with one of the university libraries in the Atlanta vicinity; at least some of them have rare book departments and there would likely be someone who could direct you to a local person or business that might be able to help you. And if anyone swings by this comment who might have another idea, thanks for leaving it! Good luck; your idea about surprising your wife with it as a gift sounds lovely. Best wishes on your search.

I have a very old Afrikaans Bible, published in the 1960s. It was dedicated to my wife Anna when she was 6 or 7. Unfortunately, it is falling apart. I would like to have it nicely bound as a surprise gift to her. Leather, gold lettering (if I can afford it) that sort of thing. Do you know of a person or business who does that sort of thing? (It would have to be in the Atlanta area, I think). Regards and thank you. Gerhard Jan, I have a technical question. I have a very old Afrikaans Bible, published in the 1960s.

Do you know of a person or business who does that sort of thing? (It would have to be in the Atlanta area, I think).

I am very interested in your work. I am also an artist, child of ministers, adopted by them actually and am just beginning to use the gift God has gave me at the age of 52. I struggled all my life with laying down painting for a more traditional method of ministry. Now its time to paint. So I read your blog with great interest. I really enjoy your charcoal drawings. Blessings. My pastor sent me your website and through it I found your blog. I am very interested in your work.
