Hardback bindingFor traditional thesis & dissertation bindingWe are agents for T Walker & Co. Bookbinders based at Salford University. They offer a 2-3 working day service as standard, with express options also available. This is traditional harback binding with pages sewn and glued together for extra strength and covered in hard-wearing buckram cloth. The cost is dependent on the thickness of the document. For up to 300 pages (80gsm A4), the price is £24.00 each; for up to 500 pages £25.00. These prices include gold lettering on the spine of the book. If you require lettering on the front board, the prices are £2.50 per line for the first four lines, or £36.00 and £37.00 respectively for 5 lines (extra lines £2.50 each). Full details are in the Pricelist (PDF) Please note that the binders collect & return bound work to us once a day only in the afternoon (normally by 3.30pm, often before 2.30pm). Our advice is to bring your complete printed work to us by 2.00p.m. to guarantee collection on that day, and to aim to collect from us on the next working day after the expected delivery date to allow for any unexpected delays. If you require any printing or copying, you must allow additional sufficient time to complete and check this before the 2.00pm deadline. You may be able to bring work to us later (i.e. before the binders collect from us) and to collect your binding before we close on the return date however this may not always be possible so please do not rely on this. We do not offer a personal collection/delivery service for binding. More information is on our Delivery page. Instant hardback bindingIf you want something a bit better than softback binding but do not need traditional hardback binding, then we have instant hardback binding using the channel binding method. Up to 280 pages (80gsm paper) can be bound in a single volume at a cost of just £5.00 in a matter of minutes. We are also able to letter the spine of the binding for an additional £1.50. It is not possible to letter the front of these bindings. Please see our softback binding page for more details. Please note that this type of binding is not accepted by The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University or the University of Salford for their dissertation and thesis submissions which require traditional hardback binding (see above). Binding is zero rated for VAT purposes. |
