Hours: 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday-Friday
We do primarily sewn hardcover binding. We specialize in binding new, previously unbound material and one-of-a-kind custom books. We do 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 saved email. Don't be shy. We've seen it all. We also do some rebinding. Please see the rebinding section for more information.
