Janet Cook Lewis (June 17, 1855 – January 18, 1947) was an American portrait painter, librarian, and bookbinder who specialized in book conservation and restoration. She was known as the "Doctor of Books". Lewis discovered a process for preventing disintegration of the bindings of books, the larger part of her active life having been spent in applying this treatment to the collections found in U.S. private libraries. Though she was educated as an artist, she was the first, and in her day probably the most reliable authority, on the subject of leather bindings and their preservation.
