Book binding materials, tools & equipment...

Book binding equipment. We have found a supplier of superb quality traditionally made wooden equipment. This equipment features larger diameter screws and threaded cheeks, which give longer life to the press and enable greater pressure to be achieved. Made of furniture grade solid beech this bookbinding equipment will stand regular hard use.

Learn bookbinding at home. The Cd by Angela Sutton provides an inexpensive introduction to the craft of bookbinding. The series of 4 DVD's by Nick Cowlishaw provide a comprehensive grounding in Forwarding, Case Binding & Leather Binding. Also included is his seminal DVD on Cloth Case Repair

Brass finishing tools Not all finishing tools are created equal. These tools are endorsed by Mr. Bernard C. Middleton MBE FSA. They have refinements that make the job of finishing easier. Getting brass blocks engraved has always been a costly business, but we have found a first class engraver with low overheads, if you are still reeling from a quote by a mainstream engraver, give us a call, you may be pleasantly surprised.
