Hartley & Rowe Bookbinders

Hand bookbinding and restoration in London since 1987

We are a small bindery in Clerkenwell working with private collectors, libraries and archives. Every volume is sewn, covered and finished by hand.

Restoration

Rebacking, re-sewing and leather repair for antiquarian books.

New bindings

Full leather, quarter cloth and limp vellum bindings to order.

Boxes

Clamshell and drop-spine boxes for fragile items.
