About Ludlow Bookbinders
Ludlow Bookbinders Ltd produce a wide range of books, photograph albums, leather bound, clothbound and bespoke goods tailored to the customers requirements
Ludlow Bookbinders Description
Ludlow bookbinders are steeped in the finest traditions of English Craft Bookbinding.
We produce short run, leather or cloth bound books, for bespoke limited editions, complete with slipcases or Solander boxes.
Our papers are sourced from Nepal, Japan, Italy, France, and Germany, and we use the finest of English hand-marbled papers.
We have an astonishing array of leathers and book cloths, from all over the world, and can create and advise on the widest range of colour and material combinations.
In addition, we offer edge gilding and foil blocking 'in house' and have access to craftsmen across the country, from silversmiths and engravers, to foredge painters and book designers.
Our award winning design team will work with you to produce a stunning book that reflects your personality and that of the author or organisation.
We also offer repairs: invisibly, seamlessly and to the highest museum grade standards and rebinds, for those treasured tomes.
It is our belief that our hand bound books, properly looked after, will last for generations and there's not much, made now, that will do that!
Reviews
Happy #WorldBookDay! Here is one of our finest productions - the Liber Bestiarum for The Folio Society. A beautiful binding of a Bodleian Libraries treasure, showcasing the medieval art of illumination.
Freshly bound - The Blacker Trilogy from The Medlar Press, 'one of the most ambitious books on angling [and the art of fly making] ever attempted'. But if you were angling for one of these special editions, they've already flown off the shelves! #FlyFishing #angling #leather #books
