Before & after ❤️

This Study Bible had a serious case of Velveteen Rabbit Syndrome.

A few pages lined, many pages flattened, a fresh DFA binding, and a new case... she's back in action as a daily user!

This book survived a house fire several years ago! 🚒

All back together with a fresh adhesive binding and a new cover with an inset panel.

Last minute gift idea.

I was already fully booked for on-time Christmas gifts earlier this month!

Study Bible rebinds usually run $300-400. Just text me some pictures of their Bible to confirm the price: 478.283.8659.

I work locally and also accept books shipped to me with prior arrangement.

I'm happy to send you a custom note for them to open on Christmas morning for an additional $50.

Notes will be shipped the following day via FedEx. Marbled paper color and card will vary.

This 1980s faux leather (embossed and heavily coated paper) cover was in good enough shape to reuse! 🤓

The zipper is missing teeth but the client really wanted to keep the Bible cover as it was when she was younger ❤️

11/28/2023

I forgot to shoot the books together before I worked on them... So I shot their former covers together at the end instead

I had fun re-backing this 1930 cocktail book!

11/11/2023

Water and heat damage meant I could only salvage the cover panels and a partial spine.

The infill material around the board edges is heavy tengujo, toned in situ and then impregnated with wax.

At this point, the tape adhesive staining is permanent. But the hardened tape carrier meant this document couldn't be opened.

I removed the carrier and reversibly mounted the document pieces on tengujo.

Custom drop spine box ❤️🎁

A little protection for this early 1800s set in her original paper wrappers

08/26/2023

✅ extensive guarding
✅ full resew
✅ new calf binding

Unfortunately, most of the original sewing was cut when this guy was rebound in the early/mid 1900s.

The aggressive spine cleaning and acidic brown paper spine lining damaged the section folds.

This one went home today!

🤓📚❤️
This Christmas gift is going home today!

The plastic coated endsheets had reacted with and fused to the brown plastic Bible cover.

They needed to be retained because of the handwritten annotations.

So I delaminated the remaining sticky blue plastic and lined the fragile sheets with a mix weight tengujo.
