What we make
Most work falls into one of these. If yours doesn't, tell us about it anyway.
Books
Short-run editions, hand-sewn and case-bound or in simple pamphlet stitch, set in metal or foundry type where the job calls for it.
Stationery
Invitations, correspondence cards, and letterhead, printed on a Vandercook proof press in one or two colours.
Repair
Rebacking, resewing, and box-making for books that are worth keeping a little longer.
