bookbinding
General Bookbinding
We bind anything that has the character of a book. Here are some examples.
Bespoke Binding
We bind private productions such as contemporary coffee table style photo albums, family tree records, family histories, wedding albums and art projects.
Specialist Bindings
We bind registers, logbooks, visitors books and commemorative books for a range of private and commercial clients.
Year Books
We bind school magazines and class yearbooks for individuals, schools, colleges and universities and the printing trade.
Proceedings and Minutes
We bind journals, proceedings and minutes for local councils, churches and professional bodies, maintaining a consistent look and format from year to year.
Short Run Publications
We bind private publications by individuals and societies in short runs of up to 300 copies.
Bible Repair and Restoration
We repair and rebind Bibles, including those with hard-backs and those with soft leather covers. We repair and restore old family Bibles.
Periodicals
Journals, periodicals, newspapers and magazines are sewn and bound in permanent hardback editions in cloth or leather, with embossed front covers and spines.
Stationery Bindings
We bind a range of books for stationery use using traditional methods: interscrew/post bindings; stitches hinge bindings; casebound; tightback bindings; and openback/springback bindings.
Presentation Boxes and Slip Cases
We make presentation boxes and slip cases for books, and can match these to any book that we have bound.
Book Restoration
We repair and rebind books that are old or have fallen into despair. The book may need to be preserved because it is valuable or because it is of personal or sentimental value.
We carry out careful repairs to torn pages, re-attach loose pages and re-sew if necessary.
We endeavour to retain as much of the character of the original as possible. The original spine and/or covers can often be rescued and re-attached to a new binding. Even a book that appears to be in very poor condition can usually be restored and is often more securely bound than when it was first made.
A book that was originally paperback and un-sewn can be sewn and bound in hard back to extend its life for generations.
