to see its owner,Chen Bing-Hong.12 Some have lost their covers,some are missing
a few pages,and some have pages that are falling out.Chen can always fix the books and
make them whole again.
13 He says that books,like people,get sick and need help.In Taiwan,there are
not many "doctors"like him,and most of them work for big libraries and museums.If big
libraries and museums are hospitals,Chen's bookstore is a health center.Big libraries and
museums fix important old books with serious problems,and Chen helps people with books
that have smaller problems.14
Chen gave an example of a science book he once worked on.15 Its owner still wan-
ted to keep it because it was a gift from a teacher who helped him follow his dream of stud-
ying science.When he got his book back,he was very surprised at the new-old book.He
felt he was brought back to the days with his teacher.Seeing the owner's smile made Chen
