For over a century of combined craft, we have restored, repaired and rebound treasured volumes, from family Bibles to rare first editions, in the traditional manner with antique hand tools.
Each volume is bound with the greatest of care, in both cloth and fine leather, in the traditional styles handed down over generations. We use antique hand tools wherever we can, because a book mended by hand is a book made to last. Whether it is a well loved family Bible, a fragile antiquarian volume or a modern thesis, it leaves us restored to be enjoyed for another lifetime.
Most styles can be accommodated. If you are unsure, simply telephone and ask.
Loose pages, broken spines and worn leather, brought gently back to life.
Fresh bindings in cloth or fine leather, in most traditional styles.
A particular speciality, treated with the reverence they deserve.
Handsome, hard wearing bindings for academic and family records.
Iconic first editions transformed into specially bound limited editions.
We will happily collect from your home and return your book when it is ready.
Over the years we have been privileged to bind for some notable collections and households, a trust we do not take lightly.
Telephone us, or bring your book to the workshop, and tell us what you have in mind.
We look it over and explain plainly what is needed, at a fair and reasonable price.
Your book is restored at our bench and returned to you, ready for another generation.
