Professional, high-quality work all-round

Couldn't have asked for a more professional service for my thesis binding and great value for a keep-sake that will look fantastic for years to come.

Very pleased with my experience!

Really happy with the five watercolour blocks and covers made up by Otter bookbinding. They were very helpful and guided me through all the options and I would definitely use them again.

Dear Louise
It was a pleasure to do business with you and just amazing the connection that you have with Barcham Paper Mill.
Just wished I'd been there too at that time! :-) We really enjoyed making up the sketch books with this lovely old paper.

I am beyond impressed with the service making dreams come true

I am beyond impressed with the service, quality, attention to detail and outstanding skill of Otter Bookbinding. I had a perfect experience, start to finish, to make my bespoke Neverending Story book, just like the movie. I honestly didn’t know what to say when I received my book. I sent a hardback copy of the Neverending Story, and I received back a work of art.
To own this book is what I had dreamed about as a child, and Marysa made it a reality. Dear Marysa, It is beautiful and perfect. I can’t thank you enough, for your amazing work and for the effort you put into the book to get it right.
I have tears in my eyes as I write this to you, it’s beyond my expectations.
I would highly recommend you to everyone I know.
This book will now become a family heirloom, to be passed down to all of the dreamers in my family. Thank you so much

It is has been beautifully restored,with obvious care and patience and even the photos and inscriptions inside have been delicately placed in the correct places.It is now beautifully bound in leather and I am very grateful to Marysa and her team at Otterbookbinding for returning this precious Bible to its former glory.Many thanks.Catherine Hatton
