Ludlow Bookbinders, based in South Shropshire’s finest market town, is one of Ludlow’s hidden treasures.  Ludlow Bookbinders has established a reputable forward-thinking book bindery for the specialist market place, which is firmly grounded by their combined wealth of experience and fine craftsmanship.   Tradition is fundamental for Ludlow Bookbinders, but this does not prevent them from being able to produce spectacular contemporary items. 

The Ludlow Bookbinders team are experienced professionals at every level; they are expertly led by Brian Settle, master bookbinder, who has been a specialist in the bookbinding trade for over fifty years having been apprenticed at Oxford University Press from the age of fifteen.  Ludlow Bookbinders are also joined by Paul Kidson, a direct descendant of the J W Braithwaite and Son family business.  Between Paul and Brian anything is possible, the skills and service that they offer are second-to-none.  

Ludlow Bookbinders books are made-to-order and are individually handcrafted for their clients.  Ludlow Bookbinders are able to accommodate all personal bespoke specifications, or alternatively they can offer their own design expertise when it is required.  Ludlow Bookbinders produce outstanding quality books and they pride themselves on their attention to detail.  Every book can be personalised with your own requirements, including the opportunity to incorporate calligraphy, personalised blocking and gilded edges. 

Ludlow Bookbinders work with the finest quality materials.  They use hand-dyed goat, lamb and calf skin leathers, in traditional and vibrant colours, elegant silk and linen cloth, and designer endpapers from England, Japan and Italy.  This enables Ludlow Bookbinders to produce a wide variety of exceptional handmade books.

Anything is possible at Ludlow Bookbinders; they offer binding services, rebinding services, private press work and bespoke bindings or anything else that you may require.  Ludlow Bookbinders produce quality handmade books, every book is different, and they will remain as unique and exclusive items for years to come.  Ludlow Bookbinders is moving from strength to strength, they may be a hidden treasure for Ludlow, but many people have already recognised their craftsmanship and they boast a wealth of loyal customers.
