Restorations and Repairs

No minimums. If you have just one item that you would like us to work on, we would love to fix that old worn treasure or newer binding that just hasn’t held up. As a library bindery, our day to day task is to repair and rebind existing bindings for libraries. Our job is to bind a book so it will stay together and stand up to the repeated use that library books are subjected to. We will take the exact same care to rebind or repair your book.

Options to repair or restore:

• No minimums - we will bind just one book if needed.
  
• Entirely new cover in your choice of cover material with hot foil embossing - possibly the most durable option if buckram is chosen.
  
• Color copy cover is an option where we take a color copy of the existing cover, laminate it and then use that sheet to cover the new hard cover.
  
• Restore old cover - If you want the old cover restored, there are a number of options available which can be discussed once we learn of the shape of the cover and exactly what you’re looking for. Feel free to contact us with specifics if you’re interested in this option.
  
• Full Restoration - We often work on old gothic bibles, plat maps or other ornate books. The pages are brought back together and the cover reassembled and refinished where necessary.
  
• Trimming is available if you would like the old pages trimmed slightly to remove old dirt and marks. You may also choose to leave the pages as they are if there are poor margins or if you just prefer it’s original look.
  
• Hot foil stamping is available anywhere on the cover, so you can put whatever you desire on it. This could include the original title and author, your name or even a new title such as “Mom’s Favorite Cookbook” to actually describe the book’s use-you decide it, we print it!
