Incline Press supports the craft of hand binding. All of our books are bound by hand, either here at the workshop, or at the workshop of a professional hand binder. Books are usually bound in small batches as they are needed, and until the entire edition is bound, sheets (unbound folded and collated pages) are available to hand binders at a reduced price. Specimen pages are available on request.

Most of the time binders buy a single book for binding, but occasionally we collaborate with a binder who is interested in exploring the possibilities of a small, specially designed edition of one of our titles. Binders who have designed special editions of our books include Stephen Conway, who created a special edition for In Praise of Patterned Paper and The Decorated Books of Thomas Lowinsky, Lori Sauer, with a vellum binding for First Wife, and recently Chris Hicks specially designed a small edition for Garden Relicts. If you are interested in such a challenge, we would be happy to discuss it with you.

Cuts of Craftworkers is specially designed for binders
and is offered unbound at the tempting price of £20.00 post paid

Cuts of Craftworkers by Jost Amman reproduces fifty-seven cuts from Amman's Standbüch or Book of Trades of 1568. Book binders, paper makers, bakers, musical instrument makers, tailors and pin makers are only a few of the craft workers depicted in Amman's lively and realistic woodcuts. At five sections, 51 pages, and 7 3/4 x 5 inches in size the book is easily handled by beginners, and the perfect size for experimentation by the more experienced binder. The paper is 140 gsm Magnani; Berthold Wolpe's Hyperion is used for the captions; and the introduction written by the historian Veronica Speedwell. (bound copies are available at £36.00)
