CUSTOM AND HAND BINDING

When your work requires special care or materials, our skilled craftsmen and women can bind your work by hand in any one of dozens of styles, from the simply elegant to ornate. With a wide range of choices including fine genuine leathers, raised hubs, hand-marbled papers, special foil stamping treatments, your closing documents, theses, genealogies, records, magazines and newspaper volumes can be bound to guarantee years of enjoyment. From small keepsakes to huge hotel ledgers and everything in between, let us show you how we can create books of longlasting beauty for your personal, institutional, or corporate library.

At Cardoza-James we preserve many rare aspects of the bookbinder's art. Several of our skilled artisans specialize in hand work, from simple theses to truly unique portfolio boxes, presentation pieces, photo albums, and archival volumes. In many cases a review of the wide range of binding styles we offer can lead your design into areas you never knew were available. From traditional quarter bound leather and marbled paper volumes to Japanese string binding to the avant garde,
