In reply to Amanda's query, the following info may be useful for all:
All of the Conservators on the Conservation Register are both Accredited and
also have to fulfil the Conservation Registers' acceptance criteria, and
they have to update this every 2 years. You can search the Register by
Subject specialism and postcode. Here is the link:
http://www.conservationregister.com/index.asp - having had a quick look
myself, the nearest book conservators to Stoke on Trent, appear to be in
Yorkshire.
The Society of Bookbinders and Book Restorers also has lists of bookbinders
and book restorers. They may or may not be professionally Accredited
conservators. http://www.societyofbookbinders.com/index.html
Hope that is helpful!

Subject: Bewick's Birds
Morning all!
I wonder if anyone could recommend a bookbinder/repairer specialising in
rare or valuable volumes in the Stoke-on-Trent area. An 1804 edition of
Bewick's "History of British Birds" (Vol.1) is badly in need of a new spine.
Any help very much appreciated!
Regards,
Amanda
