Services
Here is a list of all the services I provide at the Handmade Cactus Bindery. If you have questions about anything, please reach out to me.
Ready Made Books
I have books available in my store that are already made, and available for purchase immediately. Check out my shop page to explore what I have available! If you don't find what you're looking for, message me about ordering a custom book.
Book Repair
I provide book repair services, from old family cookbooks and genealogy records to antique textbooks and treasured Bibles. I can also provide paper repair on its own.
If you have a book you want repaired:
-
please contact me with a description of what is wrong with the book and of what you want done. Please include pictures of your book.
-
If I can do the job the next step is to give you an estimate on the cost to repair your book. You can ship it to me or drop it off (if local) so I can look it over for a few days. I charge an intake fee of $10 and I will create a condition report and a treatment proposal for you. If you decide to have the repairs outlined in the treatment proposal done I will count that fee towards the cost of repairs.
-
If I can't do the job, I can help you find someone else who is able to!
Made to Order Books
If you have a document that you want converted into a beautiful and unique hardcover book, I can do that! Starting at $80, this service allows you to customize every part of your book, from the fonts and their sizes, to the paper they are printed on, to the endpapers, cover papers, bookmarks, and corner protectors (if applicable.)
I can also create a custom sketchbook or journal for you! I have lots of papers to choose from for every type of artist or note taker. This service starts at $50.
Please message me through this site or from any of my linked socials for details.
Frequently asked questions
I'm still working on the logistics of this on the website, but you can email me at thehandmadecactus@yahoo.com, text me at (915) 490-9374, submit a message on my contact form, or contact me on Facebook or Instagram regarding your future book. Tell me what you would like and I will show you personalized suggestions to make it truly special.
I require a deposit before work starts (depending on the total cost of the book) and the rest due at completion.
