Thesis binding

Academic theses are bound according to each individual university’s regulations. All theses are given section-sewn bindings with cloth-reinforced endpapers and a flexible, cloth-lined spine. Examination copies in soft cover are sewn; final library copies are cased in hard buckram-covered covers with embossing in gold, silver, black or other specified colour in a wide selection of fonts. We do not offer thermal or 'perfect' bindings.

A range of 24 colours is available for the covers.

Leather bindings, hand-marbled and custom-printed endpapers are also available for personal, presentation or other special copies. These bindings may be either quarter-bound, with leather on the spine only, half-bound, with leather on the spine and either the corners or the foredge (illustrated), or full leather. The cloth-reinforced endpapers are usually made from papers harmonizing in colour with the leather chosen; hand-marbled paper may also be used.

It is recommended that theses to be bound in leather be printed so that the binding can be hand-sewn through the fold in the centre of the sheet: i.e. on A3 archival short-grain paper with imposition. Please consult Scribe Bookbinding before printing the copy to be leather-bound.

Although provision is made on this site for a quotation to be sent by email, it is strongly recommended that the final selection of leather and hand-marbled paper be made by personal consultation.
