Restoration & Binding Services

Smythe Books offers restoration and binding services.

Restoration

We restore family Bibles and other old and valuable books in the quality and tradition of the past. Restoration involves complete spine rebuilding and page mending where needed. Covers are restored or replaced so that the original character of the book is preserved. A restored book should have the appearance that it would have had if it never needed mending. Archivally safe materials are used.

Binding

We can bind your personal papers, diaries, dissertations, magazines, a series of child’s drawings and photo albums. Whether for restoring or binding, we offer a wide range of materials and colors for the covers and endpapers; buckram, linen, bonded leather and genuine leather. Smythe Books currently collaborates with two quality binders each having a lifetime of experience.

Clamshell Boxes

We can create special clamshell boxes in any size for the preservation of fragile materials or a special presentation.
