Book Repair Overview

ALLOW US TO ASSIST YOU WITH:

Broken Spines & Disconnected Covers.

These are very common issues with books: you're not alone! Books often crack along their spines, or tear inside the cover where they open. We'll not only aesthetically fix this, but make it stronger in the process: this means your book will last another generation.

Foil Stamping & Personalization

We foil stamp text and decoration onto covers and spines. With hundreds of fonts to choose from, we can recreate old titling, or do a refresh with something new. Add your name to a diary or religious book for an extra special touch. Foils available in many beautiful colors including metallics, iridescent, and clear.

Complete Rebinds & Restoration

As your friendly, neighborhood binder, we'll take care of any issue your book is having, from restoring one loose page, to needing an entirely new cover (or handsome slipcase). We fix everything from cookbooks to textbooks; music scores to fairytales, and religious texts of all kinds.

Slipcases & Archival Enclosures

Our team can custom craft archival boxes of all shapes and kinds. From the simplest slipcase to the most complex enclosure, we quite literally have you covered! Ask us about clamshells, boxes with lids, dividers, or drawers, and other custom solutions to protect your book or loose leaf collection.

Fine Leatherwork & Tooling

Our bookbinder specializes in leather repair. He can recondition and restore the leather on your current book, or completely rebind and redecorate a new covering that mimics the original.  (Not leather? Not a problem: we repair books made of literally anything.)
