Item Description
Is a favorite old book falling apart? A classic from your childhood? A family bible? A used bookstore "find"?
Dana Smith, a bookbinder in Boston, will repair one of your books for the price of postage to her studio - and a donation to 2Seeds.
The most successful project is likely to be printed before 1940, on good paper and have pages that are in good shape - no missing pages and few serious tears, losses, etc. (Separation of pages at the spine is okay.) Boards (covers) can be detached, spine covering can be off, binding can be cloth, paper or leather.
The proposed treatment - whether minimal to preserve a volume that is intrinsically valuable or rebinding to produce a book that can be handled every day without hesitation - will be discussed with the donor before work begins.
Item Special Note
Repaired/restored book will be returned approximately six weeks after it is received.
Note: the estimated value of this service will vary widely-- from $75 to upwards of $600, depending on the time and materials entailed. Please think about how much help your book needs when placing your bid!
