Welcome to the Lincoln Bookbindery in Urbana, IL.  We do primarily sewn hardcover binding. We specialize in binding new, previously unbound material and one-of-a-kind custom books. We do a lot of thesis binding, as well as micro-editions (1-100 books) of family histories, memoirs, and cookbooks. We've bound single copies of handwritten and illustrated children's books, poetry books, and even volumes of e-mail. Don't be shy, we've seen it all.  We also do some book repair (please click on "book repair and rebinding" for more information). 

Thesis and dissertation binding

  We stock over 50 colors of cloth cover materials.
