	Archive CD Books - Rare books on CD-ROM http://www.archivecdbooks.com.au/ Publishing unique Australian products - rare books, newspapers, magazines and other resources in an easy to use CD format. The Archive CD Books Project exists to make reproductions of rare, out of print books and records. By working with libraries, societies, record offices and individuals we are making accessible and preserving important historical resources. Helping to preserve and disseminate our published heritage for today and future generations. Archive CD Books (ACDB) borrows or purchases original books, documents or maps. We scan these free and offer benefits to those who loan originals. These are scanned using specialist book scanners. The page images edited and made searchable and placed onto CD ROM. They are then released for sale. Then, as we cover the costs of production we can invest in other books and further the project.
	The British Antique Dealers' Association : Antiquarian books http://www.bada.org/ The British Antique Dealers' Association is the trade association for the leading antique dealers in Britain. Many of the caveats associated with the care of furniture can also be applied to the care of old books. Although tolerant of a fairly wide range of humidity and temperature, wide variations must be avoided: as well as the simple expansion and contraction which can break joints of books, the different materials in a binding will move at different rates, often leading to serious problems of warping. The most delicate part of the construction of a book is the joint or hinge, which not only takes the load of the opened cover, but also is the thinnest and least reinforced part of the leather. The joints in particular suffer from drying out, the first symptoms of which are small areas of friable and usually white damage. To minimise this and other problems of a dry atmosphere, a regular but not obsessive application of a mild leather dressing such as Marney’s Conservation Dressing, which typically contain lanolin, neatsfoot and beeswax, is recommended (see product suppliers). Always try it out on an inconspicuous area of the book, apply very lightly at first, never use on sheep or reversed calf, both of which have a suede-like finish.

	Shearers Bookshop http://www.shearersbookshop.com.au/ Shearer's Bookshops were established in Gordon on the North Shore of Sydney in 1975. In the early eighties our specialist children's bookshop opened in a dedicated site just up from the Gordon station, giving those lovers of children's literature a place to visit and browse amongst a wide range of quality children's books. We expanded the business opening shops in Cherrybrook and Leichhardt, which certainly kept us really busy. In 1993 Shearer's was the first independent bookshop to be awarded the Australian Bookseller of the Year. In the late 90's we decided to consolidate our shops into Leichhardt under the Palace Cinema complex at 99 Norton St. With a shop that allowed us room to innovate we decided to add a coffee shop and Internet cafe. This grew the business and brought us many new customers, students, backpackers, retiree travellers and many movie lovers.
