I'm a former librarian, from Singapore. The postings were library-related (mostly). I tended to ramble. As with things in life, my thoughts were incidental (i.e. insignificant). DISCLAIMER - Views expressed here were strictly my own and did not represent the official stand of my former employer. But you know that already.
I'd like to know where in Singapore I can send my books for repair. These are rather old (many about a century old) - they are relics of my student days in the UK. They are suffering rather badly in tropical Singapore. Much of their binding and the condition of the spines is in a bad shape. Hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Shash

Hi Ivan, thank you for mentioning our bookbinding service at SPD. Yes, we have a team of experienced craftsmen who do book binding and restoration. You may bring the books for repair down to our workshop at 2 Peng Nguan Street, any time from Mondays to Fridays from 9am - 5pm (kindly avoid lunch time from 12-1pm), except Public Holidays.

Hi, I was searching up bookbinding in Singapore and stumbled into your blog. Librarian, always reading Sci-Fi? I knew a guy like that in my reservist. Happy R.O.D 2nd time, Ivan. For what it's worth, I suppose it's a nice watch. -Dennis Ong
