We have had a couple of books go "broken spine" on us. Very distressing indeed. Recently we had a rebinding job done on three of them. Costs about 30 USD apiece, more if you must keep your old covers. Work is so outstanding as to be unbelievable. Work done in Los Angeles area. Because of minimum charge, need about three books to justify. http://www.katercrafts.com/ I am sure there are rebinders everywhere, but this one did such a nice job on a 'hardbound?' "Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea" that appeared hopeless because the original binding was of such poor, virtually paperback quality. Came out wonderful. Some of our old cookbooks were also done. They were rebound so they would "open flat", -- a cookbook need. I think I would always ask for this if the book remains can accommodate.
