Question: I'm interested in having my personal Bible repaired, but not rebound.
What are my options?
Answer:
We are always looking for ways for you to get as much life out of your existing Bible binding as possible. If you send us a Bible to rebind and we think all you need is new hinge cloth or to have the text block tightened, we'll let you know.
But when we feel you would be better off with a new cover, or a change from hardcover to softcover, we'll let you know that, too.
There are several very popular study Bibles on the market today that have serious binding flaws. These are often purchased in hardcover format and are not likely to last more than a couple of years. We have a constant flow of these Bibles coming in. The pages are falling out in chunks because they were bound with a simple glue strip. To remedy this, we can insert glue-soaked cords into the spine and apply new glue and 
mull (hinge cloth).
But these hardcover Bibles can still be a problem. With the heavy and wide text block and the stiff cardboard covers, unless you have very large hands, these Bibles will flip right out of your hand and come crashing to the floor. A broken Bible is almost a certainty. Converting to a softcover format is advisable unless you are using the Bible for home study or in the office only.
If you have just purchased a Bible and it's starting to break apart, take it back before you get too attached to it. But if you are already beyond that point, we are here to help you in any way we can, from simple page or hinge repairs to complete restoration and rebinding.
