BOOK CONSULTATIONS for NEW WORKS
Making a book is complicated: we're here to help. Over the years we've learned that many folks have big book-dreams but don't know where to start! This is where The Bindery steps in.
We can assist with overarching questions on process, materials, options, or how to be sure you're on the right path. Even if we're not the right shop to make your books, we're still the right shop to discuss how to proceed.
A quick check in with experts before you get started (or when you feel stuck along the way).
