The Bindery |
My first Bookbinding class was in 1985. In 2000 I opened up my Bindery on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, around the corner from my house. My Bindery is a hand bindery, meaning I make books and boxes by hand. I do have some large equipment for cutting and backing, and a Kwikprint 86 for foiling titles, along with various hand tools. I counted 22 different types of glue one day. My diverse customer range covers the rich and famous to the elderly on pension. I supply sewn rounded signature and single sheet case bindings, exposed spine bindings, concave spine bindings, experimental bindings, full leather and half leather bindings and stock a large cloth supply. With my Kwikprint, I am able to make labels, and titles, in various foil colors and real gold, as well as hand tooling. I do book restoration and repair of all types. Box making is a specialty of all kinds; slipcases, clam shells, of odd shapes and sizes. The smallest book I've made is about one inch, the largest around four feet by fifteen feet. I generally do not do any text block or photo printing. But I will hold your hand during the process. If you have an idea for a book, it is best to discuss it with me prior to printing pages, but everything can be dealt with. Consultation for book repair is free, as with any book project. Please call for an appointment, but walk-ins are usually fine. Charlene Matthews Bindery |
