I would only work with an antique if the owner understood that I'm more used to working with library and newer books. Oh, my mends are good, but I but I don't know what will bring down the value of an antique. {Smile}

I have an uncle who is a book binder. He restores antique books for people.

Well Jess, It sounds like you have some cool experiences. I love meetings like the one you attended. Expert shows in anything historic are so intriguing. At one time I would attend Ren faires and dress the part. That's why some of my writing has a medieval influence.

I know how to make armor, candles, wine, and amaretto...go SCA. I know how to best feed a screech owl. I also know how to build 1/2 ton electro magnets. College was a really diverse learning experience.
