Yes, we've been asked.
Occasionally, at a 40% surcharge, if the timing genuinely lets us. We would rather turn a rush down than deliver a book we're not proud of.
For leather and paper, sometimes yes — we'll quote a small handling reduction. For cloth, almost never; the wrong cloth causes the wrong problems six months in.
Yes. Bring the block, we cost the case and any repair to the sewing. Rebinds start at €180 for a cloth case.
50% at approval, 50% before shipping. We accept bank transfer, SEPA, and Wise. No cards for large commissions.
Anywhere DHL flies. EU is €12 flat, UK €22, US and Canada €35–48, everywhere else quoted.
Any Verso book, forever. First repair free, subsequent repairs at cost.
