[BKARTS] Restoration of the Wizard of Oz (1903)

[Peng-Peng Wang <ppwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
	A friend asked me to restore her childhood copy of the Wizard of Oz, 
illustrated by W. W. Denslow, published in 1903. The book is in very 
poor condition: missing spine, half of the binding comes apart, loose 
and split pages with lots of tears. This book has personal sentimental 
value and cannot be replaced by any other copy found on Ebay. She would 
like to have this book restored to the point that it can function 
again.
	The original binding is sewn with very fine thread (4 folios in each 
section) and then glued to paper. It has total around 260 pages.
	Before we make the final decision to rebind this book, we will 
appreciate any advice on some other options.
