text_original: The binder is often called upon to clean books; to many he is a sort of Aladdin, who makes old books into new; the consequence is that he often has placed in his hands a lot of dirty, miserable looking books, and is expected to turn them into first class copies. To renovate such books requires time and experience, and unfortunately very little is known among binders as a body about cleaning.
