What we take on.
Prices depend on the object, so the figures below are starting points. Estimates are free and take about a week.
Edition binding
Runs of 20 to 400. Sewn boards, long-stitch, quarter cloth, or Japanese stab binding. We will sew a dummy first so you can hold the thing before committing the print run.
From €18 per copy at 100 copies.
Repair and conservation
Reattaching boards, rebacking spines, mending tears, resewing text blocks that have come apart. We document what we did and what we left alone, and the report goes home with the book.
Assessment €40, credited against the work.
Boxes and enclosures
Clamshell boxes, phase boxes, portfolios and slipcases, made to the object rather than to a stock size. For archives we will do a batch and label to your own scheme.
From €65 for a single clamshell.
Courses
Two Saturdays in March and two in October, four people at a bench. You sew three pamphlets and one case-bound notebook, and you take the tools list home. No experience needed.
€180 including materials. Ask to be put on the list.
