Book Restoration by TBB – Where Every Story Deserves a Second Life

At TBB Traditional BookBinding, we specialise in restoring treasured books to their former glory—or tailoring them to your unique vision. Whether it’s a family Bible, a beloved classic, or a rare collector’s item, each restoration is handled with the utmost care and craftsmanship.

📚 Examples Shown:

  • "Just So Stories" by Rudyard Kipling – From a damaged, detached cover to a beautifully re-bound and polished heirloom.

  • Holy Bible – Preserving the intricate original leatherwork while strengthening the structure.

  • Vintage Italian Prayer Book – Revived from extensive spine and cover damage to a clean, sturdy finish, while maintaining its historical charm.

🛠️ Please note:
The final result of each restoration varies depending on your book’s condition, material, and—most importantly—your personal preferences. We tailor the outcome to your expectations. If you would like to get a free quote, please click HERE
