Books are among our most treasured possessions. Family bibles are often passed down for generations. Rare first editions are displayed prominently on bookshelves. A favorite book from childhood is kept in a box. Our old books can be found throughout the home.
But like any material object, books aren’t immune to the passage of time. And without proper care, the passage of time can cause a book to become too fragile to handle. In the worst case scenario, a book can deteriorate beyond recognition. Many book owners have learned the hard way that the box in the attic may not have been the best place to store old books.
Fortunately, there’s hope for damaged books and Bibles. The Book Boutique, a part of Advantage Book Binding, offers book repair and restoration services for all of your old books and the family Bible. Learn more in our blog.
