| I am trying to work out how many pages you can bind in one volume (thesis ). I have around 400 pages but about 50 of them are photopaper which is quite thick. Also I have chosen a 90g/m2 paper for the rest. Is there any way I can work this out? Thank you |
Generally there isn't a limit if the thesis is to be bound in hard or soft covers although few go over about 500 pages or 90 mm (3.5") in thickness. However there is a maximum limit if you require wiro binding - this is 220 pages. |
|
| I will need my thesis bound in September (around the 25th). Should I/could I reserve a date to bring it in to guarantee that it could be done in 24 hours?
|
No, you do not have to worry about reserving a date or making an appointment with us in advance - just allow yourself enough time for us to provide you with the service level you opt for in accordance with the latest hand-in times as detailed in our Students Thesis Binding Fact File available from our Download Centre on this site |
|
| I would like to include two page finder fabric strips in my thesis when I come to bind it. Can you do this? |
Yes, no problem and no extra charges would apply to such a request. |
|
| In September I will be required to print and bind copies of my thesis. I have one question that I can't seem to find on your website (which is very helpful, by the way) - whether you are able to print double-sided (incl. in colour)?
|
Yes, while the norm is to usually print single-sided we can print in mono or full colour double-sided. The usual per page print cost would apply per side though. |
|
| How can I work out my own binding costs? |
If it is for printing and binding thesis, dissertations, reports or books go to www.thesisonline.co.uk and use our online calculator. Alternatively we are always happy to provide estimates for your work. |
|
| Do you bind for private individuals as well as institutions, libraries and the publishing trade? |
Yes we do. We bind journals and magazines for subscribers and collectors, theses for students, reports, limited edition books and bespoke photograph albums. We can also supply book boxes and slip cases and take great pride in repairing and restoring old books, bibles, prayer books or hymnals. |
|
| Do you have any advice how best to safegard and look after my book collection? |
Yes please refer to the advice contained in our Guide to Good Book Care which you can download from our download centre or just speak with one of our knowledgeable bookbinders. |
