New work

I can offer a range of bindings to suit different jobs and different budgets. For example, theses generally  require a standard A4 cloth binding with title and author lettered on spine and front cover. I have regularly bound theses for graduates of the University of Surrey in Guildford. 


For special occasions a presentation volume may be required. I will discuss the project with the client before realising the agreed format. The result can be individually tailored using a range of materials including paper, astroturf, silk, acetate, leather or any other workable material the customer requires.

Clients' ideas for the design of fine bindings are most welcome. I will discuss with the client their concept for the book and what personal meaning it holds for them. This may be colour, imagery, style, or texture and can be expressed in various ways, from the covers, spine, endpapers and overall form of the binding. Hand printed endpapers are a speciality.
