LEHMANN BINDERY

Lehmann Bindery combines traditional craftsmanship with the modern concerns of conservation to produce bookbindings, book restoration and conservation boxes of the highest quality. We use traditional English and French techniques in our work. Only the finest materials available, leathers from France, England and Nigeria, hand beaten gold leaf, hand marbled papers from England, France, Italy and America and book cloths from Japan and Europe are used. Drawing from an extensive background in the history of bookbinding, our period style bindings are made using the same techniques as the original.
