Terms of service
These terms apply to orders placed with Red Letter Rebind, a bindery operating in Lubbock, Texas.
What we do. We rebind Bibles you already own. Your Bible’s text block — the pages themselves — is removed from its factory cover, reinforced, and bound by hand into a new cover of your chosen leather. We do not print, replace, or alter the text.
Placing an order. An order becomes final when we accept it and receive your deposit. We reserve the right to decline a project. This happens rarely, but a text block can arrive too brittle, too heavily damaged, or too tightly glued to survive rebinding. If we decline after receiving your Bible, we will return it to you at our expense and refund your deposit.
The condition of your Bible. Rebinding is a physical process performed on a book that has already had a life. A few things you should understand before you send yours:
- Margins near the spine. Sewing and gluing consume a small amount of the inside margin. Notes, underlining, or highlighting written very close to the gutter may end up partially obscured. If your Bible is heavily annotated, tell us when you order and we will take extra care and let you know what we see once it is open on the bench.
- Fragile pages. Thin Bible paper tears. We handle every page with care, but pages that are already torn, brittle, or repaired with tape may show that history in the finished book. We repair what we reasonably can and will contact you before doing anything that changes the appearance of a page.
- What we find inside. Pressed flowers, photographs, notes, and bulletins turn up in Bibles all the time. We set aside anything we find and return it with your Bible. Please remove anything irreplaceable before you ship, just in case.
Materials. We use premium leathers — Badalassi Carlo Waxy, Pueblo, and Minerva Box; Siegel Sokoto goatskin; Capra Granulosa — with Nappa lambskin liners and Berisford ribbons. Availability changes. If the leather you selected is unavailable when your project comes up in the queue, we will contact you with alternatives before proceeding.
Personalization. Monogramming, spine stamping, and other personalization are offered subject to our current capacity and are confirmed at the time of order. Personalization is executed exactly as you supply it, so please check your spelling carefully — we cannot undo a stamp.
Pricing and payment. Standard Edition rebinds are $265 and Legacy Edition rebinds start at $300. A $25 deposit is due at order; the balance is due before your Bible ships back to you. Prices are subject to change, but the price quoted on your order is the price you pay.
Guarantee. Our craftsmanship is guaranteed for the life of the binding. See our Refund Policy for what that covers.
Limitation of liability. Except as stated in our guarantee, our liability for any claim relating to a rebinding is limited to the amount you paid us for that rebinding. We are not liable for sentimental value, and we are not liable for loss or damage occurring while your Bible is in transit to our shop.
Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
