Book Restoration Pricing

You may have put off having your favorite family books and antique publications cleaned and repaired because you thought it is too expensive. Each of our book restoration projects is custom quoted, so you pay for only the services your book or publication needs. And don't forget to ask about our multiple book discounts.

Because every project we work on is unique and deserves the utmost attention, we request you give us a call, email us photos, or ship us your book, so we can thoroughly evaluate the damage.

Binding Work

Every book will need some binding work. This includes disassembly, page repair of the binding edge, and partial resewing. Typically, this cost ranges between $45 and $85. There are some cases that will require extensive repair. We will custom quote once we see the book in-hand. If extensive work is needed, we can give a rough estimate based on photos but will need to do an inspection once we receive the book for a true estimate.
