and also George in Karatha Western Australia, with a simple Paperback that was falling apart,

Scroll further down where there are various areas of my website to Bindings that may interest you, from Old Family Bibles, Family History Bindings, Book Boxes, Paperback Repairs to Custom Leather Bindings, they are all here below. 

Videos You May Like To Watch

This video was aired on the 28th of November 2021, and the video was shot in February 2021, was not easy answering all the questions asked of me, and some editing does not match what I was handling in some shots, but generally I was happy with the outcome and appreciated Channel 9 showing this on

their TV Show MY WAY.

Many Thanks for watching, sorry the sound is not great. Thanks also to my wife Levella Watkins for doing what she does well, being there with me.

This video was shot by myself back around 2010, it shows myself restoring an Old Family Bible from when the Text Block was prepared and ready for a New Leather Cover, this shows myself Binding a New Leather Covers with Raised Bands and Gold Trim, I sped up the video so you can watch it over a couple of minutes here in my Bindery was over a two day period.

Notice my 23 Year Old Bindery Cat called Pixy, she often joined me in my Bindery when she wanted company.

This video was produced by myself, this Solander Box was Custom Bound for a customer who wanted to further protect his Mothers, Grandmother's Study Bible, I first restored this Study Bible Binding a New REAL Leather Cover in a Yapp Style, with raised bands and Gold Tooling on the spine, and then duplicated this onto his Solander Box. The Definition of a Solander box, or clamshell case, is a book-form case used for storing manuscripts, maps, prints, documents, old and precious books, etc. It is commonly used in archives, print rooms and libraries. It is named after the Swedish botanist Daniel Solander (1733–1782),[1] who is credited with its construction while working at the British Museum, where he catalogued the natural history collection between 1763 and 1782.

My specialty, old family bibles from the 16th century to the 20th century.

Bring Your Family Bible Back to Life & rekindle your Family History, using the original covers and spine covering I can bring new life back to your Family Bible to a point that it will last several more life times. 

I can Scan your Original Family History Pages and edit the pages leaving your period border decorations with clear areas to continue on with your Family History and the originals can then be sewn back into their original place in your Family Bible. Your Newly printed pages can be sewn back into your Text Block so that your Family History can be complete and ready for new entries. 

Or maybe you have purchased second hand one of these beautiful Family Bibles and wish to start your very own Family History.

Another of my Specialty Repairs, Study Bibles Re-Covered

Yes, is your study bible falling apart, pages falling out cover coming adrift you certainly don't want to loose all your highlighting and markings, comments and the like, how long would it take to transfer these across to a new study bible for it to happen again....ahhhh send your study bible to me and i will remove your awful fake leather cover, as all study bibles purchased over the last 90 years use imitation leathers, no matter what false info is written on your box, book manufacturers love leather on a roll and is far cheaper and more cost effective for them to have it bound in their machinery, the binding machines in factories cannot use real leather. check out some of the study bible rebinds i have have bound, all using real leather, soft bound, yapp edged, raised bands with gold tooling and title on the spine is a standard of my study bible bindings, bound for lifetimes of use, no longer will you have to replace your cover, and your pages will stay where they are meant to be, it will feel great in your hand, it will look great and as all my work is, a one off hand bound book bound by me, milton watkins master bookbinder..

Thesis binding styles.

Library Standard Binding (Buckram) The least expensive book we offer is the library standard binding. This is machine oversewn, with a black buckram cloth cover binding of acid-free construction. Your last name and date of degree are gold stamped on the spine. This is the binding style that graduate students need in order to meet the requirements for a Doctorate at Princeton University. It is also attractive enough for presentation to advisors or undergraduate thesis submissions.

Books up to ½-inch thick are made with a square (unrounded) spine. We round and back the spine for sizes above ½ an inch.

View an assortment of doctoral thesis library standard bookbinding here .

Buckram Roundback Binding The buckram roundback binding includes all the features of our library binding process. In addition, we gold foil stamp the book’s title and your full name on the front cover along with a separator line between the title and name. On the spine we will put your last name and date of degree, along with decorative double lines at the top and bottom of the spine. Our stamping design can be varied to meet the requirements of your school. Stamping colors available include gold, silver, copper, white, black, red and blue.

To save money, many students take the opportunity and use a combination of types of binding for their Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis. The copies intended for submission are therefore bound with high quality leather binding . For copies for themselves or to be given away, the lower cost options of thermal binding or spiral binding are often used.

As a rule of thumb, the prices for printing and binding of extensive theses with leather binding range between 100,00 $ – 200,00 $, and for shorter academic works bound with thermal binding or spiral binding , between 20,00 $ – 70,00 $.

How much does it cost to have a bachelor's thesis printed and bound?

The two major factors to consider when deciding to print and bind your thesis are: the price and the turnaround time (keep an eye on your due dates). The price usually depends on your personal configuration. This includes; which binding you choose, how many pieces you order, which paper for printing you choose and whether you want extensions to your binding such as book corners or a ribbon.

The advantages of an online print shop are that you don’t have to wait around in a store, you can do everything from the comfort of your home and the printing production time is short. Based on when you make your order, for example at 9am, we can print, bind and deliver your work within 24 hours (depending on your location)!

Thesis binding and printing options

• By DiscoverPhDs
• November 29, 2020

If you have recently completed your dissertation congratulations are in order! But the work is not finished – you now have to get your dissertation in front of examiners in a professional format. There are a number of factors to consider when producing a physical copy of your thesis :

• Type of binding (for example: helical or softback)
• Paper size (are some pages better suited for A3?)
• Print options (single or double-sided?)
• Paper quality (a range of gsm options are available)

What is Thesis/Dissertation Binding?

Thesis binding involves fastening the physical pages of your dissertation together to produce a single presentable document. As simple as it sounds, there is a lot to get right, and dissertation binding is important in giving a good impression of your work.

What are the different types of dissertation binding?

Spiral/helical/wired binding.

Spiral binding (also known as helical binding) and wired binding are very common for bachelors and masters dissertations. These options give a professional look and allow pages to be rotated 360 degrees, making for easy reading. Spiral binding uses a plastic coil, whilst wire binding uses a metal wire.

Fastback/softback binding

Fastback binding (also referred to as softback binding) uses glue to keep your dissertation pages together. This is not a very common choice for dissertation binding as it is rather formal for bachelors and masters, and perhaps not formal enough for PhD theses. Fastback binding also comes with a risk of glue losing fixity over time leading to pages falling out.

Thermal binding

Thermal binding is not very common but can be used for bachelors or masters dissertations. This type of binding is permanent (so pages cannot be easily added/removed) but is generally inexpensive. Another disadvantage of thermal bindings is that pages cannot be opened 360 degrees (as with fastback binding).

Plastic comb binding

Comb binding involves punching holes down the side of the page and binding with a plastic comb strip. This binding option is also suitable for bachelors and masters dissertations. It is a cheap option but can sometimes become difficult to navigate as pages become stuck on the plastic combing. One advantage of plastic comb binding is that it is easy to add and remove pages.

Paperback binding

Paperback binding will give your manuscript the appearance of a book and comes with personalisation options i.e. a titled cover page, spine and back. This gives a very professional appearance, too formal for a bachelors or masters dissertation, but ideal for a PhD thesis.

Hardback binding

Hardback binding again gives a book like appearance, but is expensive and typically reserved only for PhD theses. In addition to custom titling, spine and back, there is a range of material and colour options for hardback binding e.g. the gold lettering you may have seen on academic books.

What Paper Size Should I use?

Most universities will provide very clear instruction on paper sizes, most often A4. However, some pages such as technical drawings or maps may be best shown on A3. In these cases ‘fold out’ pages are an option but must be approved by your university guidelines.

Print Options:

Check your university guidelines when deciding whether to print single or double sided. If printing double sided, be careful as some pages should not be printed back to back. For example, new chapters should start on the right hand page (of a double spread) so blank pages may be required.

What Paper Quality is Suitable?

Paper thickness is measured in grams per square metre (gsm). Although there is no ideal paper thickness, too thin and you risk your dissertation feeling low quality. Too high and you risk your dissertation pages feeling like cardboard, and again pointing to low quality.

Popular UK Services:

Ryman is an affordable thesis binding service, with a range of options for dissertations and theses. Ryman often have stored on University campuses or nearby, so you can check the services provided by your local store (as an alternative to ordering online).

Doxdirect is an online service which offers a large amount of customisation when choosing a thesis binding option. The door to door service also offers a wide range of delivery and production options so you get your bound thesis in your hand as quick as possible.

Thesis Online has been around for a long time (established in 1920), and have a very good reputation. They offer an online thesis binding service and have a hand online calculator which allows you to modify your binding, printing, and deliver options and see the impact on cost in real-time.

Things to Note:

Whichever service you use to bind your thesis or dissertation, there are a few important things to remember:

When using an online service check the turnaround time. Most services take around a week to print, bind, and deliver, though faster services are available at a cost. Some universities have an onsite printing service that students can use. These services likely offer binding options which satisfy your department’s dissertation submission requirements.

An electronic copy and physical copy of your dissertation will be read differently. Whilst consecutive pages are easy to compare on a computer screen, a physical copy may have pages printed on opposite sides of a single page (if double page printed) which makes side by side comparisons difficult. This is something to consider if your text frequently refers to images or tables overleaf.

Most thesis printing services only accept PDF file formats. Ensure that when you convert your dissertation to PDF that you review the document to ensure no errors occur during conversion.

Check your university dissertation guidance on margin requirements. It is also important to factor in margins when considering binding options. Typically a minimum margin of 2.5cm is required on the side of the page to be bound.

Although it comes with an additional cost, it may be useful to purchase personal copies of your bound thesis. You can then bring your bound copy to your Viva , and ensure that what you and your examiners are looking at are identical.

How much does an essay cost?

Starting your search for an agency, you need to carefully study the services of each option. There are a lot of specialists in this area, so prices vary in a wide range. But you need to remember that the quality of work directly depends on the cost. Decide immediately what is more important to you - financial savings or the result.

Companies always indicate how much 1000 characters of text costs, so that the client understands what price to expect and whether it is worth continuing to cooperate.

At Essayswriting, it all depends on the timeline you put in it. Professional authors can write an essay in 3 hours, if there is a certain volume, but it must be borne in mind that with such a service the price will be the highest. The cheapest estimate is the work that needs to be done in 14 days. Then 275 words will cost you $ 10, while 3 hours will cost you $ 50. Please, take into consideration that VAT tax is totally included in the mentioned prices. The tax will be charged only from EU customers.

When choosing an agency, try to pay more attention to the level of professionalism, and then evaluate the high cost of work.
