1-How do I package my book to send to Custom Book
binding?
Best protection is to package using a box, then make sure book cannot open up and bounce around inside box. Some use cellophane to wrap book, then use crumbled up paper or packing peanuts to prevent book from bouncing around in box.
You can use any service you want to ship to us. We receive packages daily from USPS, UPS as well as FedEx.
2-Must I provide my phone number?
Some times we have questions on your order or may need to make substitutions, etc. Providing your phone number will aide in good communication and keep your order from being held up.
3- Can I leave the original silver gilding on from original NWT?
The short answer is yes but......Our covers our already sized for a slight trim on the paper edge. If you want to keep original edging there would be an extra charge to custom cut a cover to fit your Bible. The silver gilding from the branch is done on high production equipment. The leather cover we put on your book will far outlast the original silver gilding that comes from the branch. Our gilding is similar to how deluxe Bibles were gilded when the production was done in Brooklyn Bethel. It is more time consuming but lasts much longer. Gilding will protect your paper edge from dirt and looks beautiful. We do offer speckling with stain that hides dirt, though does not protect from dirt.
4-Do you send leather samples?
We did in the ist. But we don't have the man power to cut samples of our more than 23 samples. We do have all our colors on the web page. The other issue with providing samples is that dye lots can change slightly between drum loads, thus they may not match perfectly with sample sent. Also with our veg tanned leather, sine we hand stain them they will come out a little different each time dependent on the hide itself. You can request lighter or darker in rich brown and mahogany only.
5-Can I send in a used Bible?
Yes, we do charge $15 extra to do some minor repairs and track your Bible thru our system to make sure you get exact same Bible back. Please go thru book before sending to make sure there are no bent corners. We are not responsible for pages that fold out after we have done the edging. (They can be trimmed after the fact with a razor blade)
6-Do you have other ribbon colors for the markers?
All our Bibles come standard wide for Large Bibles, same width as large NWT. Narrow for regular size NWT. We do offer ribbon cards with a variety of colors. The ribbon cards can be removed by opening Bible then gently pulling. The black are glued to spine. All of the ribbons we provide are heat cut at an angle. This prevents the edges from fraying over time. If you wish to send your own ribbons because of size or color there will be an additional charge to custom cut and add a glue edge to the cut
