New Items
Over the last couple of months we have added some new features to our offerings in Bible rebinding.
After several years of searching, we have finally found a supplier for the leatherette end pages (or liners) common in most Bibles. Not only does this stuff look good, but it greatly adds to the flexibility of our Bibles. When you have a small binding shop, one of the biggest hurdles is to get suppliers to talk to you. Unless you're willing to buy in large quantities, many of them won't bother responding to inquiries.
I knew this stuff had to be available and though we had to purchase it in 25 yard rolls, it was nice to find a supplier that would sell it in rolls and not pallets.
We have three colors available; black, chocolate brown, and wine. In case you chocolate lovers are wondering, I tested it and it's not scratch & sniff. :-)
We also recently found a supplier for morocco grain pigskin. While it's only available in dark brown, it can easily be dyed black and buffed to a beautiful luster. It also has great flexibility.
My leather supply is growing, but keeping a consistent supply is always a problem, as it is with many natural products. This is why some of the more successful Bible binders are now using bonded leather. There is never a shortage of bonded leather. There is also never a shortage of bonded leather Bibles that are falling apart.
God Bless,
Eric
