DJ Bookbinders offers a specialist book, magazine and thesis binding service delivered to the highest standards, located just outside Swanage in Dorset.

We turn printed matter into hardcase bound volumes, turning magazines or loose pages into books that will grace any bookshelf. This procedure is carried out with care and precision with particular attention given to each individual customer's requirements.
As specialist book binders we offer thesis binding, magazine binding and periodical binding. We also bind family histories, manuscripts, presentation books and much more. In our binding section you will see a list of all the different types of binding that we can undertake, but we also welcome enquiries for any type of sewn binding with no minimum quantity. If you need just one book bound for a special gift or have a project or assignment to present, just get in touch with us, either by phone or email, and we can advise on options, colours, lettering and price. Emails are generally checked every evening and it is always helpful if you can supply a phone number and a convenient time for us to call you.
Our hardcase sewn volumes are sturdily bound in arbelave library buckram, which we can supply in a variety of colours and we offer the choice of gold or silver lettering.

Bring us your magazines, periodical collection, thesis or manuscripts and we'll transform them into a beautiful hardbound book you can give as a gift, show to friends or keep as a momento.
