Bespoke Bookbinding · Lewes · Est. 1992

Presentation Books

A fully bespoke service tailored to any budget — from account books and registers to fine bindings and display pieces. Every book is made by hand at our bindery in the centre of Lewes.

Handbound account books and registers made at Bookbinders of Lewes

For organisations & institutions

Account Books & Registers

We produce handbound account books and registers to order, sewn on tapes and covered in cloth or leather to your specification. Whether you need a single volume or a matching set, each book is constructed to open flat and withstand years of regular use.

Our customers include companies, societies and institutions who want a lasting record book that reflects the importance of what it contains.

Handbound memorial book and visitors book open on a table

For commemorations & occasions

Memorial Books & Visitors Books

Memorial books and visitors books are among the most personal items we make. We work with families, galleries, heritage sites and places of worship to create volumes that are both beautiful and durable — bound in cloth, leather or a combination of the two.

Lettering on the cover can be blind-tooled or foil-blocked, and the paper inside is chosen to suit the purpose — from smooth writing papers to heavier cartridge for mixed media.

Handmade sketch books and display bindings by Bookbinders of Lewes

For artists, designers & collectors

Sketch Books & Display Bindings

We make sketch books to order for artists, calligraphers and designers — sewn to open completely flat, with paper selected to suit your medium. Display bindings are made for collectors and photographers who want their work presented in a form that does it justice.

Every book is a one-off. We discuss format, paper, cover material and finishing with you before we begin, so the result is exactly what you had in mind.

This is a bespoke service tailored to suit any budget. We are happy to discuss your project and advise on the most appropriate binding for your needs.
