Good to know

We work with reversible, archival-quality materials: wheat starch paste, linen thread, acid-free boards and Japanese papers.

We don't remove signs of use that tell a book's story — inscriptions, pencil notes and old repairs stay unless you ask otherwise.

Current waiting time for new repairs is about four weeks.
