Store description
I'm a bookbinder, specialising in the repair of broken books. I also review and value books for clients and will act as a broker for those worth selling on. I often find interesting books that can be sold to a good home when browsing for books to repair. I try to save books of note from being recycled or scrapped and save them for posterity. My work often involves undoing poorly repaired books and returning them to a more contemporary binding. Any repair work will be declared in my listings.
