The company, which is now located in Farnborough in Hampshire, was established in the late 1940's by the monks of Farnborough Abbey and has over 70 years experience in the Bookbinding business.

All books, whether ancient or modern, receive the individual attention of craftsmen who really know how to judge a book by its cover.

Leather bindings - A special book deserves a special binding and the bindery offers the finest calf and goatskin leathers.
Restoration - The aim is to preserve as much of the original binding as possible, thereby preserving the character and value of a cherished old book.
Cloth bindings - Books that need strong practical bindings are often bound in cloth and are frequently specified by libraries, colleges and universities.
