New portfolio shots of some of our most recent work

Here are a few representative shots of some of our recent work we've done around the bindery.  Next to our restoration and conservation work, the vast majority of the items that we are commissioned to produce are limited leather-bound editions for collectors, authors, and publishers.  We can produce one-of-a-kind leather bindings for a single book to hundreds of books.  We work with each customer to develop the finished design in diverse period styles.  If you have any questions about our custom binding options, please feel free to contact us for more information.


An example of some of our edition work. This particular limited leather edition was completed for a local publisher in an edition of 10 copies accompanied by a matching full leather clamshell box.


Two identical volumes of the "Life and Travels of Parley P. Pratt." Both of these copies were in heavily worn original cloth covers. We reproduced custom stamping dies to match the original full-leather designs and stamped them to match. We have the ability to re-create nearly any cover design from scratch. The finished results are so close to the original publishers binding, that it's nearly impossible to tell the two apart.


A custom full leather clamshell enclosure for which we had custom stamping dies created to match the motif on the covers of the original book.


A very large oversized full-leather post binding for a collection of encapsulated documents and photographs for a prominent early Utah family. We also created a matching oversized full-leather clamshell enclosure to protect the binding when not on display.


We also specialize in study bible & scripture rebinding. This is a set of LDS scriptures that a customer had us rebind in full brown morocco goatskin. We dressed up the spine a bit, with a little more gold stamping than regularly appears on the standard issue LDS scriptures. We can bind your study bible/scriptures to look however you would like them to appear.
