Maple Crossing · A small bookbinding studio

For the books
you keep.

An open book on a wooden sewing frame, with red binding thread, a spool, and an awl
A few tools, a length of thread, a book worth opening again.
01 / KEEP READING

The cookbook with the loose cover. The Bible with the family names. The paperback you’ve read to pieces.

We look at what’s holding, what’s coming apart, and what you want to keep. Then we agree on the work.

Familiar pages, considered repairs

The history
stays yours.

Not every worn corner needs to disappear. We can retain a cover, save handwritten notes, or make a new binding when the old one has given way.

Small repairs usually take 2–3 weeks. Rebinding takes 4–6 weeks after you approve the estimate and leave the book with us.

How we assess your book

For December 2026

A book with
nothing in it. Yet.

Made-to-order journals start at $85; guest books start at $140. Choose a cloth color, paper, and a short cover title.

Approve a new-book order by November 20 for pickup December 18–19. Repairs need their own assessment and are not promised for December.
