Bookbinding

Leather, cloth and paper combine to make some of our most treasured possessions: books! Binder Timothy Dyck can repair/restore any book in your collection using time-honoured skills and materials. New bindings, like family histories, theses, custom art journals, as well as artist collaborations: all have boundless possibilities at The Colour Jar.

How much does it cost? Each book, like the conditions and materials that created it, is different. In short, Timothy will need to see the book/project to estimate properly. However, a typical paperback with a broken spine might cost $25, and a large family Bible that is falling apart might be $200. A new hardcover book bound in cloth with a title, and an edition of one, might be $55. Multiple copies usually bring the price down. The goal is a durable and beautiful object that invites exploration!
