Rebinding
Do you have a favorite book you'd like to make into a leather-bound edition?
Rebinding your book is a great option to give your book a new life! Whether it’s a paperback copy or a hardcover edition, I can transform your collection to make your shelves shine.
Converting paperback books is how I got started in bookbinding and it serves as a backbone to my operation. On a personal level, seeing a paperback book transformed into a hardcover, leather-bound edition brings immeasurable joy. The client’s I have worked with have all expressed the same sentiment and I am happy to help you with your books.
Bridging the gap between quality and cost, I do everything I can to be transparent and direct with what it will take to make your dream come true. I am driven by my passion, not my finances.

Your vision is the cornerstone of our work together. Bringing together your influences with my ability creates the foundation of how your book will look in the end.

FAQ
Do you offer paper mending?
Yes! Rips or tears are fairly common with much loved books and I enjoy fixing those.
How long will it take?
The timeline can vary depending on how many projects are active. Typically, the standard turnaround time can be between 3-6 months.
Is there an extra charge to put my project on “rush” (earlier than “standard”)?
No. Moving the priority up is free. I just need to know and we can plan accordingly. An updated timeline will be provided, but this will be determined by how much work is needed to complete the project.
How much does it cost?
The cost for a project like this can vary greatly. I assess each book as an individual, because each one is different, and they all have their own needs. Some determining factors include how much paper mending is required, the desired material (leather or buckram), decoration/artwork, and whether reprinting is needed for any specific section.
