Michigan State University maintains a list of local book repair services which will also include people that can do the kind of work you are looking for.

Another option is the HF Group which provides a large number of services. The company includes several binderies with the closest one, formerly Heckman Bindery in North Manchester, Indiana.

There is also Wallaceburg bookbinding which is located in southern Ontario, Canada, but has a Michigan address.

Hope this helps and good luck with your project.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Looking for bindery that does custom work

 

Can anyone recommend a bindery that does custom and hand-work?  I am familiar with Bessenberg Bindery in Dexter, but has anyone had experience with another one?  It doesn’t need to be located in Michigan.

 

We have some items that need careful custom work for slipcases, clamshell boxes, special preparation and cropping of pages, etc.  The binder we use for periodicals is not set up for this kind of custom work.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

 

Judy
