[BKARTS] restoration- perforated library stamps?

[John Ptak <3legskilled@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Does anyone have a suggestion about how or to whom to apply for restoring an
18th c  book with perforated library stamps?  Each of the 17 engravings has
the library's name perforated across the image, though luckily since the
images are technical schematics very little printed area is affected.  Many
thanks,
