Bookbinding, rebacking and boxes made to measure in Haarlem
A small bindery above a bicycle shop near the Grote Markt. We rebind family bibles, repair old atlases and make boxes for things that should not sit on a shelf unprotected.
What we do
Repairs
Loose boards, torn spines and broken sewing, fixed with materials that can be undone later.
New bindings
Quarter leather, cloth and paper covers for theses, journals and small print runs.
Boxes
Clamshell and drop-spine boxes cut to the millimetre for books, maps and letters.
