Restore an old book
Old books have great emotional value for the owner. However, it often happens that such books are in a tattered state, with a torn cover and pages that have fallen out. We will make sure that your book gets a second life after restoration: it will be pleasant to pick it up, read and admire it on the bookshelf.
In addition to restoring old books, sometimes you need to restore someone else's book, for example, taken from a library that was accidentally torn. We also successfully carry out such work. Send a photo of your book and get advice on the possibility of recovery.
Technologies and limitations
Our book restoration specialists will perform:
- replacement of an old battered cover
- trimming the torn edges of the pages
- soft, hardcover or stapled binding
We use high-quality materials and components: dense (350 g/sq.m.m) paper for the cover, professional laser printing, glue for binding. Please note that books with a "native" hardcover can only be restored to a softcover (a hardcover on a metal channel is only possible for fixed sizes A4 or A5). The maximum size is up to A4 format, the spine thickness is up to 35 mm. The book's restoration technology includes trimming the outer edge of the pages, as well as the spine. If the book had a thread-sew binding, then after restoration, reading the text at the spine, especially with narrow margins in the original, may be difficult. Books with initially small page margins may not be accepted for restoration.
