About
About
Our main service is library bookbinding, or specifically, hard cover bookbinding. Almost all of the books we work on are sewn, not just glued, on our oversewing machine. We are especially proud that the Gruver Co
is the only local company to have this machine.
This machine sews individually sheeted materials such as Theses and Dissertations for a permanent binding in which the sheets will never come out once sewn. For Law Firms, we can bind Closing Documents, Briefs and Opinions as well as Law Journals and other Legal Documents with no fear of pages coming loose once put on your shelves. We can bind family Histories and Personal Memoirs. For the libraries of Associations and Organizations we can bind your Periodicals and Journals as well as your Company Records and Minutes. For collectors, Comic Books are a specialty. We can even bind Newspaper sized materials. Basically, IF IT CAN BE BOUND, WE CAN BIND IT.
Even the Unusual is not unusual to us.
All of our covers are made with Archival Quality binding cloth (low acid) or leather. If you request leather, we prefer to use imported goatskin leather because, as with our binding cloth, the acid content is low. The strength and durability of these leathers are unmatched and, as we order our leather from both Europe and Asia, we can offer a wide variety of both colors and grains.
All foil stamping is done to your specifications and we offer a variety of colors as well. Gold, Silver, Black and White are the most popular choices and depending on the color of your covers, we will make recommendations as to which color foil will look the best. We also can take your art-work and make stamping dies for special set-ups as well as for Logos and Family Crests.
We also personalize items such as Bibles, Wallets, Suitcases and even the more "modern" forms of communication items.
