Edition binding is a speciality at Praxis Bindery. The conservation and restoration of older books, coupled with a broad and in-depth exploration into bookbinding has given the staff at Praxis Bindery a unique insight into the strengths and weaknesses demonstrated by certain materials and structural techniques over the lifetime of older, rare books. 

Those observations have led to a solid understanding in the importance of well grounded techniques and high quality materials. It is the basis for the functionality and long life that a well designed binding holds. Edition binding isn’t about speed but about care. 

Praxis Bindery integrates techniques that have proven themselves throughout history with new techniques that further the strength and durability of the book. Newer archival materials in combination with long-standing, tried and true materials such as leather, parchment and handmade papers bring beauty along with their inherent strength, creating a book that not only is beautiful but extremely long lasting. Praxis Bindery works closely with publishers, fine presses and individuals so they may realize the true potential in an edition.
