CONSERVATION SUPPLIES 

   Stephen Pradier writes: "I found a web site that offers 
   "Sources of Conservation Supplies and Services" which 
   has a multitude of links for book preservation and supplies. 
   A majority of these service suppliers are used by the Library 
   of Congress, Smithsonian Institution and libraries in general. 

   The web site is as follows: 
   http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/bytopic/suppliers/ 

   When you live in the country a lot of services are hard to find. 
   I contacted one supplier,  Heckman Bindery,  and they 
   service the general public as well as large institutions. They 
   are at  http://www.heckmanbindery.com/. They have a 
   contact list and web pages displaying some of their book 
   conservation products. Unfortunately some books cannot be 
   repaired or just should not be repaired in order to retain 
   their original covers etc.  Please feel free to share this 
   information with the rest of the E-Sylum subscribers." 

   Phil Carrigan adds: "as to Library Supplies -- I buy stuff 
   from Gaylord Bros in NY  800/634-6307.  I made this 
  contact thru my employer and our scientific library."
