Besides simply binding books, we also offer a printing and publishing service for individuals and organisations. Book printing is offered from a single book to a large publishing run.

Hardcover bindings are made to a high standard and at competitive prices. For those wishing a high specification leather binding, we offer a full bespoke book binding service. There are many styles to choose from varying from a traditional leather bound book with raised bands and gilt edges decorated in the style of the Arts and Crafts movement or earlier, to more contemporary designs.

The Otter Bindery has extensive experience in photo album making. Commissions include memorial books, wedding albums, christening books. If you wish we can digitally layout and print your photos and other content prior to binding to create a totally professional package. A book bound to commemorate a special occasion creates a unique personal touch and shows thought and added care when presented as a gift. If you are having a document printed as a special one off, ask about our range of beautiful European handmade papers. There are many creative opportunities for customers who would like to add their own artistic flair to a binding. Equally we would be delighted to guide you in making your dream book a reality.

Other services include a full book restoration and repair service, and a fast turnaround Dissertation and Thesis binding service. We also offer business publishing for example of tender reports for contracts or the binding of Minutes of meetings. The price structure for any work of this nature will be the same as that of the Thesis Binding service. Finally, we offer bookbinding classes and tuition.
