Superior Bookbinding EquipmentBack in the 1980's Sally Martin and John Mitchell got together to produce a range of traditional wooden bookbinding equipment. They didn't produce it for very long, and now this equipment is highly prized for it's quality of construction & design.
I have no problem prophesying that this equipment will also be remembered for the same reasons.
I would have expected this superior quality equipment to be more expensive than the equipment from the large suppliers, in fact it is around the same price.
Don't pay more than you need to, for example the large finishing press costs here £139.00 plus shipping. From another major supplier it costs £205.62 plus shipping, plus tax. Shop around, you will see our prices are lower, sometimes much lower!
If you are from the USA and are concerned about shipping costs, let me say that I have seen testimonials from people in the USA who say this equipment is STILL BETTER VALUE THAN EQUIPMENT PURCHASED LOCALLY. All equipment is sent by secure delivery which has to be signed for on receipt.
If you would like to know precisely why this equipment is superior you can download a .pdf file which features excerpts of a conversation I had with the makers. click here.
Please note: The makers of this equipment are also able to produce bespoke equipment to your own specification at similarly low prices.
This equipment is made to order, making & delivery is about 2 weeks within the UK or 4 weeks to the USA, and yes, it is worth the wait, one customer from America said the equipment was "to die for", (See testimonials)
