[BKARTS] List member David Allen / Beddall Bookbinding in the AbeBooks news

["Peter D. Verheyen" <verheyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a nice article about list member David Allen / Beddall 
Bookbinding who frequently posts here on AbeBooks' website... Here's 
the teaser text.

Bookbinding

Dave Allen is a surviving member of an endangered species - a 
professional bookbinder. Pick up your Yellow Pages - there won't be 
many listed. Bookbinding is a highly skilled craft requiring enormous 
patience, concentration and knowledge. It is also a profession kept 
alive by a few dedicated bibliophiles like Allen.

His studio, located in a workshop behind his house, is 15 minutes 
drive from the AbeBooks' headquarters in Victoria, British Columbia, 
on the western coast of Canada. His firm is called Beddall 
Bookbinding, Conservation and Restoration, and he makes his living 
doing custom repairs and restorations, as well as contractual work 
for newspapers and other businesses. Much of his repair work is 
drilling and side-sewing books that have fallen apart after only one 
or two reads.
