Resources

Please use this thread to list any resources you think would be helpful.

A few to start:

The Book Arts Web: https://www.philobiblon.com/ This site is a collection of links to a great variety of book-related resources

Guild of Book Workers: https://guildofbookworkers.org/ GBW is a national organization for the book arts, and welcomes both professional and amateurs

Talas: https://www.talasonline.com/ Brooklyn-based source for conservation, archival, and bookbinding supplies.

J. Hewit & Sons, manufacturers of book leathers, has a newsletter, Skin Deep (downloadable in PDF format) that often has very informative articles on binding and repair.

Bookbinding/repair supplies: Hollander's.

I primarily use Talas but have had good interactions with Hollander's as well. Both highly recommended.

I like some Kapco book protection products, such as easy bind tapes, easy jacket protection, and others. https://kapco.com/products/library

Suppliers for those on this side of the Atlantic and further east..

Shepherds Bookbinders - Bindery: http://www.bookbinding.co.uk/
