ABOUT ME

My name is Phill Woods. I established Woods Bookbinders over 30 years ago, after completing my 6 year apprenticeship in a hand craft bindery on the City Walls in the ancient city of Chester.

I bind books for people all over the UK. My work includes Family bibles, Lodge Bibles, Photo Albums, any antiquarian or old books, both in cloth and leather.

All of my work is done by hand, using traditional tools, materials and methods. I use only the finest goat and calf skins and have a vast collection of tools & materials to provide even the most sympathetic of repairs. I can repair and rebind books to suit all budgets. I have bound for many private collections and, institutions and royalty in my time. So, rest assured, your books will be in safe hands. .
