A few weeks ago my cousin Mary sent me a book owned by J C Tatum,
My Great Grandfather, who was a member of the Richmond Howitzers.
The book was published in 1891 and given the owner, it's age and missing it's spine
I was happy to have it.
I was happy to have it.
I looked on E-Bay and found several comparable books, I was shocked by the price.
I decided to have a hard cover put on mine, I did a google search for local bookbinders and found this one - Long's Roullet .
I Sent an E-Mail with the above pictures and asked for a price.
Within a day I got a reply and was told $45 for a hard cover.
I sent the book with appropriate insurance.
I got my book back in a week or so and I'm happy with the results -
When I got the book I considered it to be Gold, seeing as how it was owned by my Great Grandfather who was a member of the Richmond Howitzers.
Now having a hard cover added it's polished Gold.
