| Is bible Rebinding
Practical ? |
Most families have heirloom or family
Bibles which have been passed on from generation to generation and
contain not only the Word of God but usually vital statistics that
would soon be forgotten had they not been entered in the family record
section of the Bible. These, without doubt, are well worth expense
of restoration. The sentimental value of a Bible or Book Belonging,
Rebinding your favorite Bible for use, because you prefer using it
rather that “ breaking in” a new one is also justified.
The materials used in rebinding are the very best quality and because
of the skilled handwork used in the binding process, will usually
out wear the original binding.
The original cost of a Bible has no bearing on the cost of rebinding
as the same workmanship and individual attention is given to each
of them. The only price difference is the very cost of the cost of
your selection of material as shown on the price sheet.
The experience and skill attained in operating a plant specializing
in Bible rebinding SINCE 1947 together with our guarantee that no
faulty materials or workmanship is used on your order assure you of
a satisfactory rebinding job. |

| We have restored many old
and valuable Bibles as the one described below: |
One of the most interesting Bibles
which has come into Norris Bookbinding in poor condition and went
out again like new was the family Bible of Reverend James Dempster
(1740-1804). Rev. Dempster, who was converted under the preaching
of John Wesley, was sent to the colonies in 1774. He was one of the
last pair of missionaries sent by Wesley to America. In the spring
of 1775 he was appointed pastor of the Methodist Chapel in new York
City, which had been Built in 1768, the first Methodist church in
America.
Mr. Dempster arrived in the Mohawk Valley in the early winter of 1776
and preached and ministered to the needs of the pioneers in and around
Amsterdam until his death in 1804. This famous old Bible was discovered
in the home of one of his descendants in Amsterdam, New York in very
poor condition. The Rev. Wm. H. Kroeger, pastor of the first Methodist
Church of Amsterdam “challenged” Norris Bookbinding to
rebind this famous Bible. Other bookbinderies had said it was impossible.
Below is the reply from the Rev. Kroeger After receiving the repaired
Bible.
Norris Bookbinding Co.
Greenwood, Mississippi
Dear Mr. Norris
We received the Bible, which you reconstructed for us. Excuse the
delay in acknowledging its receipt. I wanted others to see it before
I replied. I may now say that everyone who examines your work is enthusiastic
over what you were able to do with a book which other bookbinders
considered impossible and to respect their efforts in a day of small
things.
Thanking you again, I remain, Yours truly,
Wm. H. KROEGER, Historian, Troy Conference
Amsterdam, New York.
