 bookbinder is a craftsman of an ancient art, steeped in tradition and perpetuated from master to apprentice for centuries. The student must be taught the skills required to secure the fragile pages within a protective armor. And while the armor can be beautifully  and skillfully made, it is the message inside that is most important. The ultimate roll of the bookbinder is that of stewardship. The bookbinder is entrusted to protect the integrity of the text and to keep it from harm for generations to come.....It is a noble calling. |

Leather bindings add greatly to a book’s value and appeal. Our experience and mastery of techniques enable us to craft fine leather bindings that you will treasure for a lifetime. Because your project requires custom work, there are many variables that must be considered before a price can be established. Your choice of materials, binding options, lettering, decorative design, extensive restoration, sewing, page repair or an over-sized book are among the factors that determine your final cost. While an estimated price can be determined, a final quotation cannot be given until the work is evaluated in our shop. |
