RESTORATION/SPECIALTY BINDING
Most books can be either rebound or restored. The method used depends on the condition, value, type of book and the intended usage. For example, books that are currently in print would be foolishly rebound at more than the cost of purchasing a new copy. Restoring out-of-print, rare or very expensive books is often a wise investment. Family Bibles and books with sentimental value may be preserved to hand down through generations.
Favorite hand Bibles are hard to part with when they are worn and torn, because they may have notes written throughout the pages. Those Bibles may be saved with our rebinding services. We offer a wide variety of cover materials and options, all of which add life, beauty, and individuality to the books. Newly purchased Bibles can also be rebound with more durable genuine leather covers.
Old books require special attention and each one has specific needs depending on its condition and value. Prices for restoration work vary widely due to different materials and amount of time required. We are always happy to provide individual quotes for our work.
