Are there any books on this??

[rdavey26]

I am wondering if there are any books out there on how to restore movie posters?? Such as the steps and processes that are involved and that will show how to do this. I know I could ask Charlie but I think that he would get tired of me asking questions all the time. I am not looking to start doing this right away but eventually I would like to start to restore some of my posters. Any help would be great.

I don't own one...

Well hell Charlie that is a lot of help lol  I would eventually like to restoring my own posters. Save myself money in the long run. Maybe take a few side jobs if time permitted. I would think that there are books out there on this somewhere.
