After 37 years, I am now retired from commercial book binding and restoration.

I am continuing to maintain this website as a free and open resource to anyone interested in bookbinding / restoration and other related topics.

Towards this end, I have divided the website into these categories:

- Printables :

A collection of free and open books, chapbooks, etc.; designed to be printed on personal computer/printers;

then folded and sewn to produce a standard book signature which is then sewn together to create a text-block suitable for binding.

- Gallery :

Groups of images showing various restoration projects, slipcases, folding boxes, etc.

All are annotated with descriptive and explanatory notes.

- FAQs  &   Restoration advice :

Answers to some commonly asked questions regarding book repairs,

options,archival standards, solutions.

- Annotated Links :
