Dear Jeanne,

Looking through our shelves of unused book repair material, we could send a box
18x12x12 of book cloth in various weights. We also have some book casings where
the text block has been removed, but the case itself is in usable condition.
These are made of sturdy book board and covered in buckram - they were
originally made for journals. Would these be of any interest?

If these items are useful, where would we send them?

Thanks very much! Hope you are having a great summer-
Kris
