Fine Bookbinding is a craft which takes many years to perfect. At Tudor in Leicester we take extra care with your project, no matter how small or large it is.
With decades of experience, Tudor are in the fortunate position to be able to bind and restore books in most styles, using both new and established methods. Whether it is a short run private publication or an old family bible, the same amount of care and attention to detail is taken over every project.
The joining of folded book sections with thread to produce a more sturdy bookblock.
Manufacture of Hard Back Books, with square spines, using paper/cloth and board.
Processes evolved over the centuries, producing hand-made leather covers in their various configurations.
Repairing and restoring of old books and manuscripts to get them to a useable state, keeping as much of the original as possible or rebinding in the original style.
From printed sheets supplied by you, Tudor can produce thesis or dissertation bindings to match the standards of most Universities and Colleges.
As can be seen from the photographs, Tudor has the expertise to be able to replicate and restore books to match the original covers. We also undertake projects using modern materials to give a contemporary look to both Hard-back and Soft-bound publications. With much of the work being done by hand, the time and care taken over each books shows in the finished item.
I just wanted to thank you again for turning this digital job around for us so quickly last week when we finally managed to print it..!
Please see below some feedback from the customer who was over the moon with this job:
“I just wanted to say that the guide looks absolutely beautiful, both Rachel and I are so pleased. The final finish was so much better than expected, the anti scuff cover and fold out sections all looked so perfect. I really can’t thank you all enough, if I wasn’t on furlough I would give you a call. Please can you let everyone in your team know that they have done an amazing job especially in these current circumstances.”
Again, your “can do” attitude really is a breath of fresh air!
