Book & Bible Repairs
Do you have a book in need of some TLC?
Whether it is an old Victorian Family Bible, a family heirloom, a treasured volume or even an old scrap book which need some care and attention, Paul Delrue should be able to help.
As these photos suggest, it doesn't matter what condition your book is in, there is almost always something that can be done to restore it. Sometimes the book block itself is split and needs resewing. Sometimes the boards are attractively decorated and need to be repaired and retained, and sometimes you may just want an entirely new binding.
You may have a tatty old binding and want to create something really special - a full or partial leather binding for example. Or you may want to keep the look of the old book as near to original as possible.
Old books and journals can be very special things and are often handed down through the generations. Breathe new life into your old books and Bibles and pass them on to future generations in good, strong and beautiful shape!
