The EXPRESS Book Exchange Program

  • 1. Select Your Title & Order

    Browse our collection of  titles. These are pre-bound, custom hardcovers ready for their new homes.

    Once you place your order, your “spot” for that specific design is reserved.

  • 2. Send Us Your Paperback

    To complete the exchange, you must mail in a legally purchased paperback copy of the same title.

    When you finish your purchase of the Express Process, a pre-paid shipping label will be e-mailed to you.

    Version Flexibility:

    We accept various paperback editions (e.g. mass market, trade, or international covers), provided the condition of the meets the Condition Requirements (below).

    The “Send First” Rule:

    Your new custom hardcover will not be dispatched until your paperback copy has been received and processed by our studio.

  • 3. Quality Inspection

    Upon arrival, we inspect your book to ensure it meets our rebinding standards.

    • Solid Text Blocks:

      No heavy staining, water/animal/child damage, or heavy “foxing” (brown spotting. Light spotting is acceptable as it can be removed from the outside. If it has penetrated the internal pages then it is not suitable.).

    • Structural Integrity:

      No missing pages or severe spine warping that compromises the rebinding.

    • No Marking:

      No highlighting or personal inscriptions. Stamps from second hand shops are ok.
      Note: If a book fails inspection, we will contact you to arrange a return or a replacement copy.

  • 4. The Express Swap

    Once your paperback passes inspection, we don’t make you wait for a fresh rebind.

    We immediately pull the pre-bound custom hardcover from our vault and ship it to you.

    Please Note: You will receive a high-quality rebound copy of the same title, but it will not be the specific physical book you mailed in.

    BUT it will have passed the above Quality checks so please keep that in mind.

    If this bothers you, DO NOT SELECT THIS OPTION.

  • 5. Arrival & Enjoyment

    Your standard paperback joins our workshop queue to be transformed for the next exchange participant, and you receive a unique, hand-crafted copy of your favourite book for your library.
