The driving force behind Bibliopathologist is Gerald Ward — a skilled bookbinder, book conservator, librarian, and book arts educator with over twenty years of experience. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Gerald brings the same discipline, precision, and commitment to excellence to his craft that he brought to his service. Bibliopathologist is proudly veteran-owned and operated.

Through Bibliopathologist, he offers a range of services including book repair, bespoke bindings, and educational workshops that explore the rich history and hands-on techniques of the book arts.

Whether preserving the past or creating something entirely new, Gerald brings deep knowledge, craftsmanship, and a passion for the book as both object and idea.
