On the recommendation of Phil Gay, I have been using Bookbinding Direct 
for a number of years.   Not only are they very good at binding things 
like Ringing Worlds, they are also extremely competent and highly 
regarded book conservators.   

They have done a number of of superb book restorations for me, 
including a masterly repair to the spine of my most treasured book, 
Stahlschmidt's Church Bells of Kent.
