Several times I have been asked if we have binders for Steam at Llangollen. Unfortunately,
the remaining stock sold out some time ago and the up front cost of a new stock is
proving prohibitive, particularly as they tend to be slow sellers.
I did manage to solve the problem of binding recently as shown by the picture above.
There are 10 copies in each volume and the price, for bespoke binding, is £35 per
copy plus, depending on the type of binding and text required.
They were bound by Chester Bookbinders who can be contacted on www.chesterbookbinders.co.uk
They also have a Thesis binding service on www.the thesisman.co.uk
