Book conservation and repair require a knowledge of how books have been constructed, spanning nearly two thousand years. At Paper Leaf Bindery, we have made a study of these methods and often demonstrate bookbinding at Medieval, Renaissance, and Colonial fairs.
We use reversible, conservation-grade materials recommended by institutions like the Library of Congress Preservation Division.

Over the years, we have had the great opportunity to work on many hundreds of books. Everything from minor repairs with cosmetic touchups to complete rebinds/recovers of water or fire-damaged books. Below you can see just a few of our conservation, repair, andrestoration projects.
