Since 1952, Smith-Shattuck Bookbinding has been binding theses and dissertations in the traditional manner. Each year our bindery has adapted to new materials and techniques that have become available to us. The result has been an archival book made from the highest quality acid-free materials. Each thesis is machine oversewn with unbleached cotton thread and archival endpapers. This sewing process creates an exceptionally strong binding with maximum flexibility.

Our goal remains to provide Class A library bindings that meet the guidelines of the Library Binding Institute. We provide the flexibility to meet your needs in a friendly and concerned atmosphere. READ MORE
