Our
Services
The
Story Shop offers most common restoration and repair
work on books both hardcover and softcover. We can turn
dried leather supple again and dye cloth bindings, where
spotting or fading has occurred, to match the original
coloring. Spines can be saved in most cases, and cracked
hinges can be fixed or made new with replaced endpapers.
Loose pages can be either resewn into the bindings or,
in the case of glued cardstock books, be reattached
with conservator’s flexible adhesive for years of sturdy
use. All new products applied to your books will be
modern and acid-free, up to the standards of professional
conservators and archivists. Books that have dustjackets
will be carefully protected in a new, removable mylar
sleeve. We do not offer new bindings or slipcases, sorry.
We can appraise your individual book or book collection
on-site and offer suggestions for their proper storage
and handling. |
