Repairing Paper Tears

And don't forget that knitting back the fibres of any bits that are missing have to be replaced with  matching paper from that period, so paper identification, weight and properties are very important.

I am impressed by the quality of the work shown.

I have 2 small early 17th century books with a few problems: one book with 3 tears through prints and text on the other side plus

Were can I have this fixed with the same quality as shown.

I live in Holland but don't mind sending my books to the UK.

Doing it yourself is probably no option?
