operating for the past 17 years. At J.A.D. Binders we have created bound books and documents of aesthetic beauty and great value. Bookbinding embodies many intricate processes which, when coupled with fine craftsmanship, produce elegant and durable products. Modern conservation techniques allow us to preserve documents and books for centuries.
J.A.D. Binders uses the finest material available, including those that are archivally approved and conservation friendly, resulting in long lasting and trouble free products. Durability is guaranteed by the use of high quality threads and glues as well as our specialized sewing techniques. The use of decorative endpapers and headbands lends elegance to special books. Titles and tooling patterns can be foil-stamped on both book faces and spine. Gold leaf can be used to enhance the finest publications.
All these processes can be applied to binding new books or the restoration of old books. Emphasis is on quality work, be it elegant restoration of a rare book or the economical binding of a thesis. We will repair, recover and custom bind books of every kind and age, in choice or combination of the different types of material used.
