Repairs and Restorations

Every book becomes more individual with time. Some lucky volumes maintain the same crispness as when they came off (or out of) the press but most others are not so fortunate. Due to the myriad ravages a book can sustain and the variety of remedies that might be undertaken to restore wear and damage, it is impossible to quote costs here. Therefore I invite you to submit your book to me for an obligation-free evaluation. The most accurate evaluation can be done if the book is delivered to me; as this is not always possible, close-up photographs and a discussion can be helpful. Please contact me by phone or email for details, and please include your phone number.

Slipcases and Boxes

When repair is not possible or desirable, protective housing for your books is essential. At Vinegar Hill we excel in the construction of archival boxes for books and manuscripts. Each box is tailor-made for its contents and executed to your specifications. Following are several examples of our most common box styles, other styles available. Please use our quote request form.
