Overview

Here at Sycamore we pride ourselves in offering a personal and caring approach to our clients’ requirements whether it is for an individual book or a large collection.

We are both restorers of antiquarian/historic books and modern general binders.

All of our work is undertaken by hand using the experience that our conservators, bookbinders and finishers have accumulated over many years of working on a wide range of restoration and new binding projects for the British Library, Imperial War Museum, RIBA, Lambeth Palace, Kew Gardens, numerous Record Offices as well as publishers and private collectors from around the world.

We are the leading bookbinding and restorers in the Channel Islands with the Priaulx library, Royal Courts, Island Archives and Jersey archives our clients along with many private individual islanders.

Our work is carried out using traditional methods and tools whether on 15th Century restoration work or limited edition bespoke bindings.

We offer free no obligation quotes and for large project work we can include a onsite visit and our own insured collection and delivery service.

All of this enables us to offer a service second to none.
