Friends,
I have just unpacked a shipment of books that I sent to be rebound and/or repaired at the Bridgeport National Bindery. The quality of the work exceeded my highest expectations. I had sent books with a variety of problems, among them: One book, with just one loose signature, was repaired without any visible alteration. An old monograph has a new fabric cover, with title and author stamped in gold on spine and front cover. Several hardcover books were given new, laminated covers with digitized images of their original covers or dust jackets. Best of all, battered paperback copies of Gerda Weissman Klein's Promise of a New Spring, now out-of-print, were converted to hardcover books with laminated covers, also with digitized i div> For the library, the cost of rebinding was approximately $11/volume. Individuals may send books for rebinding for approx. $33/volume. For valuable books, the bindery has a conservator available to work on them. In addition to doing fine work, the bindery was attentive and responsive to questions and communication, whether by email or by phone. I recommend the Bridgeport National Bindery without reservation.
