About us

I am a traditional bookbinder doing book conservation, repair and restoration as well as custom design bindings. I rebind bibles to preserve the personal notations, rebind favorite paperbacks into durable hardcover books, and bind custom blank books or presentation copies for authors. I use the best leather and archival quality materials in my work. I do this because I love books, and I love working with people who love books. Not many people do this kind of work any more because it is so labor intensive. My location is not open to the public, so I will arrange pickup and delivery to a convenient location - or you can mail your books to me. I try to answer all phone calls during typical business hours, and I return all messages as soon as possible. It is not possible to offer a warranty for repairs, since I have no control over how a book is treated once it leaves my shop, but I promise to provide excellent work. My goal is customer joy - the particular joy that only a finely bound book gives. Love your books!

I was so thrilled to finally find someone who repairs books.  I had no idea how hard it would be to find someone, but Karen is AMAZING! I never thought my Mom's old cookbook could look so good again.  The repair looks flawless and now I don't have to worry about the book falling apart in my hands.

I would not hesitate to give her my most treasured books to work on after seeing her work on this one.  In fact, I have already recommended her to my brother to have his Bible restored.
