Tessmer Book Bindery
Covers • Bindings • Stamping • Repair
When repairing a book, we try to restore the book as close as possible to its original look and feel. At your request, if possible, we will save the original cover and spine or we will make a new cover to your specifications.
When binding a new book such as a family history or thesis, we will create a custom cover. We offer a variety of cover sizes, material and foil stamping that gives the finished book your personal touch.
We have been a family owned business since 1929. The business was started by my great grandfather, my grandfather and his siblings. It was then passed on to my father and then to me.
The equipment in the shop is the same as it was when it opened but since basic book binding has not changed much in several hundred years, the equipment is still functional and very effective at getting the job done right.
