Book binding service recommendations

Can you recommend a company for an affordable, one-off library binding?
I would like to rebind a copy of Das Parfum: Die Geschichte eines Mörders with a plain library binding. The binding services I've found online seem to deal in bulk orders. Bonus points if it's in the St. Louis area, but I don't mind shipping it.

I use Library Binding in Waco, TX (by mail, I'm in CA) for comics. I think they have a minimum order of $35 or so, but they definitely do one-offs and small orders.
There's also a book binder directory/recommendations/discussion thread here.

How about stopping by or contacting a few libraries in St. Louis (public and academic) and asking where they get their book bindings repaired? Might give you a few local leads.

If you strike out locally (and I definitely recommend you try there first), you can MeMail me. I have a small book repair/binding biz out here in MT called The Vespiary. Since MT is so large, I get a fair amount of work shipped to me.
You might also try this guy. I don't know anything about him, but the AIC website lists him as a conservator and he might have better local knowledge.
