Restoring old volumes to their former glory is one of the most exacting procedures we undertake. This painstaking process of restoration requires patience and expertise; the result is not only elegant and impressive, but also essential if the item is to be preserved for future generations.

The process of returning a book, document, or other archival material as nearly as possible to its original condition. The entire scope of 'restoration' ranges from the repair of a torn leaf, or removal of a simple stain, the complete rehabilitation of the material, including, at times, resizing, filling in of missing parts, re sewing, replacement of endpapers and or boards, recovering or restoration of the original covering material, and re-finishing in a manner sympathetic to the time of the original binding of the publication.

Restoration therefore, encompasses virtually the entire range of book - mending, repairing, rebinding, and reconstruction.
