General Update November 2024: 

For fastest turnaround and current pricing, please use the new “Make A Book” option (found at the top of any page).  It allows you to make all the choices for your book.  You’ll even see an image of what the book will look like!  For print orders, it will let you upload your print file for immediate processing.  With rebind or restoration orders, it will print the order worksheet to send along with your existing book.  Since it collects all the information we need, your order is streamlined and gets processed immediately when it arrives! 

If you prefer to fill out a form by hand to send in with your order, you can use the “ORDER NOW” link at the top of the page to bring up a list of PDFs available.  NOTE:  Those forms are no longer being updated with current pricing so we will confirm when we receive the order.  You can also just ship in your order with a letter describing what you would like.  We call you to let you know when the order is received (so you know it’s safe & sound).   It then takes 2-4 weeks to evaluate your order and we call or email to confirm your choices before proceeding.  From that point, it’s another 4-6 weeks to complete the order.   If the item is needed by a certain date, please put “RUSH” on the outside of the package and we will discuss options to get it to you faster. 

“By Christmas” Orders:   If you need your order back in time to give for Christmas, it would need to be on a RUSH basis at this point.  There is an additional cost of $50 for 3 week turnaround IF we receive your order by Thanksgiving and you MUST write “RUSH” on the package.  Otherwise, after Thanksgiving, it’s $150 IF possible.  That all depends on how many other “By Christmas” orders are in at the time.  

If you’re local, you can also stop in to drop off an order.  Thank you so much for your continued business and patience!  We appreciate it and hope to be in business another 170 years! 

Stay safe, stay healthy and take some time to enjoy a good book in a cozy corner somewhere 🙂
