The art of Bookbinding has only recently been combined with conservation science. As a craft, it has changed little over the centuries. The methods are virtually the same as those used by 15th century.The restoration of aged, damaged or deteriorated books an documents requires a combination of old world craftsmanship and modern techniques executed by hand patiently.

Whether they are treasured Family Bibles, letters, rare and antiquarian books in public or private collections, historically significant chronicles, or other documents, environmental conditions and years of usage combine to cause the internal deterioration and visible damage that endanger our recorded heritage.

When you bring your valued papers and books to Potomac Bookbinding & Restoration Lab., Mr. Julio M. Sanabria will be applied in a most conscientious and dedicated manner. All materials will be genuine and all workmanship is unconditionally guaranteed.

Fortunately, most books and documents can be restored by a qualified conservator such as Mr. Sanabria and his staff.
