Kansas Atlas - Book Conservation - Book Restoration

I recently restored/conserved an oversized Kansas Atlas.  A major job that required a lot of paper conservation as well as a complete restoration of the cover.

Religious Texts from 1644 & 1730

Working on some extremely old texts.  Ainsworth's Psalms from 1644 needs to be resewn and rebound as the binding was severely damaged from water.  It isn't the original binding but rather one that was put on in the 1800's.  William Webster- Bible in 2 Volumes, 1730 requires a new binding as well, as the  original was virtually nonexistent from water damage as well.  Thankfully, I don't have to resew.
