Black Cowl Bindery takes its name from the distinctive black hoods - or cowls - of the Benedictine monks who have poured their humble labors into copying and creating books for nearly 1,500 years.

Black Cowl Bindery specializes in creating custom hand-made hardcover bindings for every need, as well repairs of vintage and antique hardcover books and manuscripts.

An Army veteran who went on to apprentice under the master bookbinder Jeff Dahlin, Black Cowl Bindery takes an organic and wholistic approach to the centuries-old craft of creating one of history’s most influential and powerful tools: the book. Creating each binding by hand, maintaining the venerable tradition while leveraging modern technological advances, Black Cowl is a premier binder that can provide you with the quality that your printed work deserves.
