Slate Hill Bindery

Hand bookbinding, book repair and archival boxes

We rebind and repair books and make journals, albums and boxes by hand, using traditional sewing and covering techniques.

What we do

• Rebinding of worn and broken books
• Repairs to spines, joints and corners
• Journals, albums and guest books made to order
• Clamshell boxes and slipcases for fragile volumes

Every repair starts with a look at the paper, the sewing and the covers. We suggest what is worth doing and what is better left as it is, and agree the work before we start.

Commissions are taken in small batches; visits by appointment.
