Here's a page to show you what could be done with your Bible (or family Bible) if you have something special in mind. We'll do our best to work with you as long as your request is within the scope of our abilities. We'll be honest with you if it's not.
Coming soon -- our new line of Historical Bibles.
When you know what you'd like to do, or if you'd like to talk it over, give us a call or write. We're friendly people!
Family Bible rebinding can be done when the original cover is missing or beyond restoration. The Bible above was only made of thick cardboard and the wide yapp (overhang) was breaking off. Sometimes a portion of the original cover can be embedded into new leather. Get a free quote for your 1950's Bible.

Got a project in mind? It doesn't have to be this bad. Many people send us Bibles and other books that are brand new. |
Hand antiqued calfskin can give a look of antiquity to either a book or Bible that is really old and the cover is beyond repair, or to a modern facsimile. |

After trimming the page edges and covering the Bible with new lambskin, it looks much better. It's not perfect, but it can be used again without crumbling. Get a free quote for your special rebinding project.

This project, dubbed "Poor Man's Geneva Bible" was a rebind of a modern hardcover facsimile. It is covered in hand-rubbed, antiqued goatskin, with larger than normal ribs on the spine, an applied leather label, and a date imprinted directly on the spine at the bottom. It was reviewed here.

Before we go, we would like to introduce Haolie, canine winner of the 2009 Golden Doggy Award, for inflicting the most damage on a book or Bible without swallowing it. Surprisingly, Haolie still lives with her owner. We love pets like this because their antics give us an opportunity to meet you. |
Above is a study Bible that survived a house fire, but looks like it. We worked with it for a long time, pressing some of the puffiness from water damage out of it.
