I saw it on eBay & noticed your name on it - that was an incredibly cool poster. Was this it? How badly mangled is it? If you send it to me I can try to restore it (and send your other one too while your at it, if you think it can be saved) Even before this preservation bookbinding work, I've been known to fix things that people thought were irreparable. This includes my Gustav Klimt print of 'Ophelia' which that parrot we were caring for had partailly devoured. Send me an visual estimate of the damage...

Yes, the "Cigar" poster is the Magritte-like image. It's so cool - and it's HUGE, too. In both of my "crushed Dolby" cases, the poster tubes were mooshed, causing bends and crinkles in a big, ugly way. Both times, the poster tubes were really wimpy. If I can get a super-serious poster tube, I'd be thrilled to send them up and let you see if you could do anything with them. If not, hey, no biggie, but I'd gladly pay for "restoration services"!!!
