Bookbinding Materials, Leathers, ‘Bindery Equipment’, and Materials
Russell Fine Leathers provide premium leathers to independent bookbinders, craft publishers, notebook manufacturers, and book restoration businesses around the world.
Our selection of bookbinding materials and equipment offers a bespoke, high quality solution for every requirement. With over six decades in the leatherworking business, this catalogue caters for every aspect of traditional bookbinding. Included are leathers, fine threads, unique glues, and hand-crafted tools – all fabricated using traditional methods. We also offer an extensive selection of finishing materials, including the highest quality gold leaf.
The quality of bookbinding materials makes a significant difference to the experience, durability, and appearance of the finished product. Every leather has a unique character and grain, providing the precise tactile and conservation qualities required for manuscripts, folios and books. The correct blending of papers, glues, and leathers affect not only the aesthetic, but also the Ph qualities of the manuscript or album, significantly improving the overall quality.
