Library and Archive Binding

The important work of managing a library of works (whether academic, technical, or theological) requires the best quality bindings to ensure that the items in circulation in your archive or library last for many generations of reference and enjoyment. Have your books and manuscripts rebound, repaired, or restored to meet the needs of your archive or library.

Black Cowl Bindery offers:

New Printings and Bindings

You’ve put a lot of care and effot into your work. A quality binding is the best way to give your work the respect it deserves. Have your novel, academic work, dissertation, thesis, novel, sketchbook, or journal printed and bound together with quality materials and hand-crafted craftsmanship. Both individual books and volumized sets of any size are possible.

Paperback-to-Hardcover Transitions

Not every book is available in a hardcover edition. Many books today are only available in mass-produced paperback editions. Give your favorite paperback book a quality makeover, and you’ll have an exclusive custom edition that’s unique to you, and will last for many years of enjoyment to come.

Book and Manuscript Repair

A good book will get lots of love from its owners. Time and use will take their toll on a humble book. Various repairs can be made to replace worn and torn covers, stabilize pages and spines, replace marking ribbons, straighten bent cover edges, regild page edges, and more.

Repair possibilities depend on the type and extent of damage - reach out to see how your book can be brought back to its fullest life.

Compilations and Anthologies

Collections of printed materials can be bound together to create anthologies and compilations: sets and series of magazines and journal issues, church and parish bulletins, meeting minutes from committees or organizations, government and business records, and much more.

The perfect solution to keep a physical record of your important documents.
