Are you writing a Thesis or Dissertation for a Higher Education Qualification?

Whether you have been working on a doctorate, MBA or other qualification, you will probably have been required to produce an extensive piece of work for submission towards your award. Universities and Colleges usually have rigourous criteria for binding such work, often in conjunction with a local bindery. These bindings are often relatively simple, cheap bindings, ideal for the establishment's needs and usually in a specific colour and format.

However, many students would like a high quality, well bound copy of their work to retain and use as a reference in years to come, or to just show as a reminder of the effort and work which went into achieving their qualification. Since this copy would be for you, you are not constrained by the inflexibility of university or college criteria and so you can have your work bound in whatever way you would like:

Full leather binding - in a colour to suit your needs, with raised band spine and labelling. A book made to last a lifetime and a fabulous keepsake.

Half or quarter leather binding - with a matching book cloth to give a traditional and impressive look to your volume

Designer Binding - special one-off designs to your own specification using a variety of techniques and materials, for a truly unique finish.

Presentation box - made to measure for each individual book, in a matching material. Designed to look great and also protect your work from shelf wear for years to come

Please note that since this type of work often tends to be completed at specific times during the year, work will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so please enquire if you are working to tight timescales.

Work can be submitted ready printed or in electronic format. For some types of binding, work needs to printed in a particular way to enable pages to be folded and collated appropriately to facilitate hand sewing, etc. Please refer to our "Preparing your Work for Binding" guide by clicking here.
