I wonder if anyone knows a good bookbinding service. The book I want bound is rather old -- early 16th century. It is completely unbound at the moment -- only loose pages. I'd like a binding that fits the book's era. Vellum, if at all possible. Price... well, I'm, willing to spend a bit but price is certainly not no object.

I really don't mean to be a jack-rear end here, but I suggest you Google for bookbinders in whatever the nearest city/town with one or more universities and/or big libraries/archives/museums is. I don't think there's like a massive national/international book-binding company for that sort of work. e: Or ask the library (one with old books in its collection). They often don't employ their own binders these days, so they'll probably know a company. I think I should've suggested that first but hey I'm stupid. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Dec 17, 2021 |

Yeah, you'd be looking for someone local. If you're in St. Louis, I recommend Paperbirds, but you probably aren't in St. Louis.

Sorry, I kind of forgot this thread. I've got some very good responses from Ask/Tell and have more or less decided who I'm going to go with (James Reid-Cunningham, who's not very far away in Cambridge, MA).

Someone in Ask/Tell sent me a very nice list of from the The Society of Bookbinders that do antiquarian work in the USA and UK and I sent off queries to most of them. Reid-Cunningham came recommended for not only being vaguely local but especially good. Ortho fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Dec 20, 2021 |
