Castalia Bindery will be offering a new service soon to fill in the inevitable downtime in between book runs.
While we are extremely busy working on catching up to our backlog now that the bindery is fully operational, it is clear that there are going to be occasional days when we’re waiting for book blocks or leather to show up due to the vagaries of international shipment. So, we’re planning to take a page from some of the better old binderies out there and utilize that time turning nice old first edition and special edition hardcovers into custom leatherbound books.
Read more about it at the Castalia Library stack. If you’ve got an old first edition or a particular set in mind, get in touch. We’re not going to have time to do a lot of these, and they’ll have to fit in around the production runs, so first come, first served.
