Custom Bible rebinds currently start at $200. Your final price depends on your Bible and the customization options you choose.

Additional options such as page speckling, custom end sheets, engraving, gold line gilding, or extensive repair work may increase the final price.

Payment is collected after your Bible is completed. We'll send you photos of your finished rebind along with your final payment information before your Bible is shipped back to you.

Our typical turnaround is approximately 1–2 weeks after we receive your Bible. Turnaround can vary depending on current order volume, repairs, and the customization involved.

Absolutely. That's one of the best parts of a custom rebind. You can choose from our available leather colors, liners, ribbons, stamping options, and finishing details.

If you're unsure what combination would look best, we're happy to help you put something together.

That's completely fine. You don't need to have every detail figured out before contacting us. Choose what you know, and we can help you work through the remaining details before your rebind begins.

In many cases, yes. Minor page tears, loose sections, and other common issues can often be repaired during the rebinding process.

If your Bible has significant damage, we may ask for photos so we can determine what repairs are possible.

Yes. We work with many different Bible sizes, including study Bibles and thicker editions. Larger or unusually sized Bibles may require additional material and can affect the final quote.

Yes. New ribbons can be added as part of your rebind, and you can select colors that complement your leather, liner, and overall design.

Yes. Depending on your design, personalization can include stamping or engraving such as names, initials, Scripture references, or select custom designs.

Page speckling is a decorative finish applied to the outer edges of the pages. It gives the Bible a distinctive, handmade appearance and can be coordinated with the colors of your rebind.

Our rebinds are designed with a small amount of leather overhang around the page block. This helps protect the edges of your Bible's pages and is intentional in the construction of the cover.

Because we use substantial leather, making the cover too short can also put unnecessary pressure on the page block when the Bible is handled and closed.

We recommend securely wrapping your Bible and placing it inside a sturdy shipping box. Using a shipping service that provides tracking is also strongly recommended.

Once your rebind details are confirmed, we'll provide the shipping information you need.

Living & Leather is based in Dalton, Georgia. Customers can ship their Bibles to us from across the country.

Yes. Every Bible is individually worked on and re-covered by hand. Because each Bible and piece of leather is unique, small natural variations are part of what makes each finished rebind one of a kind.

Start by filling out our rebind quote form and telling us about your Bible and the look you're going for. Submitting a quote does not commit you to an order. It simply gives us the information we need to review your project and help you with the next steps.
