}} George A. Baer (April 14, 1903 – July 24, 1994) was a German/Swiss/American bookbinder. He specialized in fine bindings, including gold inlays. Much of Baer's work involved the restoration of old and rare books for both private customers and numerous rare book libraries around the world. His well-established reputation in this field led to an invitation to help restore books in the Florence, Italy libraries that were water-damaged in the 1966 Flood of the Arno River.[1] BiographyGeorge Baer was born as Adolf George Baer to German parents in Hoboken NJ. He moved to the United States in 1948 and worked for 24 years at the Cuneo Press. Books bound by him were sold to patrons including Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, the President of France, and Pope Pious XII. In 1977 he moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
