I am a traditional master bookbinder apprenticed in 1975 and founded my business, Period Fine Bindings, in 1983. I practice traditional bookbinding covering every period, and practice full conservation and restoration of paper and materials and the removal of all stains without any chemical application....All my formulae are derived from plant extracts which do not compromise the materials in any way....You can see more on my extensive website...periodfinebindings.com I also put recent work on my Period Fine Bindings face book business page for clients to watch the full progress of their commission.
