The perfect finishing touches for your rebound Bible

Hand Stitching

$75 – $95 (depending on Bible size)

Hand-stitching a leather cover is a meticulous craft that elevates a premium Bible rebind to a true work of art. Using only Julius Koch Ritza Tiger Thread, we ensure each stitch is strong and consistent. This thread, known for its durability and refined appearance, complements the richness of the leather, binding the cover with precision and care.

Raised Bands

$30 – $65 (depending on Bible size)

Add classic raised bands to the spine for a traditional, elegant look. When all books were bound by hand, bands of thread would be used to hold all of the page signatures in place. Modern books don’t require this method, but the raised bands are still used to imitate that classic old look.

Art Gilding

$75 – $95 (depending on Bible size)

Art gilding combines red under gold (or other color combinations) for a stunning effect when the pages are fanned. This traditional technique creates a beautiful contrast and depth to the edge treatment.
