Booksmith Conservation specializes in book conservation and book repair.

Booksmith Conservation, run by April Smith, is located in Austin, Texas and has been in business since 2002. It provides conservation and preservation services for books, manuscripts, parchment documents, historical and family documents and ephemera. Clients include individuals, collectors, university libraries, public libraries and museums.

Consultations at my studio are available by appointment only.

Currently I am taking conservation and repair work for 2025, as I am now getting ready to be a vendor at the Texas Book Festival in Austin,

November 16-17. 

Please note I am no longer accepting Bibles for repair.

Please contact me for further information. You may send me digital images of your object(s), but please note that a firm estimate of cost cannot be given until I have examined the object in person.
