Whether repairing a family Bible, renovating a library collection or giving a battered but much-loved children's book a new lease of life, we try to preserve as much of the original binding as possible using sympathetic materials of the highest quality.
Before: a Victorian family Bible with detached pages and front cover and a damaged spine.
After: the spine and cover have been renovated and reattached, and detached pages resewn.
A badly damaged cloth binding resewn and restored – now back in full use!
Sometimes the original binding is damaged beyond repair; in these cases we can rebind and produce a facsimile of the original.
