In a Bind

The Book Doctor

You’ve always been one to do things by the book.

Meaning you eat on it. Set your drink on it. And use it as a nutcracker.

Not exactly what Grandpa had in mind when he passed down his cherished tomes to you, is it? Looks like your descendants will just have to settle for your grape juice stains.

Unless, of course, you call The Book Doctor. The shop’s talented team can restore heirloom volumes to almost-mint condition. And they’ll keep everything as close to original as possible. Which means any book will be put back to together just like Papaw left it, with barely visible repairs.

There’s even an easy ten-week class to school you on the finer points of book restoration, bookbinding, scrapbooking, leather care, and cover and spine repair. Just the thing to help you preserve your favorite relative’s library for generations to come.

After all, you wouldn’t want anyone judging his books by your covers.

The Book Doctor, 320 West 7th Street, Bishop Arts District, Oak Cliff (214-946-1760 or thebookdr.com).
