What people bind.
Years of research into births, marriages, voyages and farms. We print it on 100gsm paper and hand-bind it in buckram or leatherette with the family name in gold on the spine, one copy for every branch of the family.
Whether it is a parent's memoir, a 'This Is Your Life' book for a milestone birthday or your own story for the grandchildren, we print and hand-bind it as a hardcover book with the author's name in gold.
A grandmother's handwritten cards, scanned and laid out; a club cookbook; a chef's first collection. Printed in colour on 100gsm paper and hardbound so it lies flat on the bench.
Poems, short stories or a dissertation portfolio: short collections look best as a slim hardcover with the title and author in gold foil. We bind from about 10 pages up.
Photos, messages and letters collected for one person and one occasion, printed and hand-bound into a book they can open for the rest of their life.

Questions, answered.
Does the price really include printing?+
Yes. Upload your PDF and we print it on 100gsm paper, double-sided, including colour pages. The only extras are a 48-hour rush (50% of the binding price) and courier delivery ($10.50). GST is added at checkout.
Is this accepted by my university?+
Our hardcover binding is A4, buckram-covered with gold lettering, which is the specification NZ universities use for hardbound deposit and library copies. Most universities now deposit a digital copy and leave hardbound copies to the student, so check your faculty's current guidelines and put any required wording in the order notes.
What file should I send?+
A single flat PDF with pages in final order, A4 page size, fonts embedded. Word files reflow between computers, so we only print from PDF. Editable or fillable PDFs can cause printing problems; export a standard PDF.
Free converters: ilovepdf.com, smallpdf.com, pdf2go.com.
Can I order from outside Auckland?+
Yes. We courier anywhere in New Zealand for a flat $10.50 and email you the tracking number when it ships.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is five working days from when we have your file and payment. A 48-hour rush adds 50% to the binding price. The order page shows the exact ready-by date before you pay.
What if I spell something wrong on the cover?+
Gold foil is stamped exactly as typed and cannot be changed afterwards, which is why the order form shows a live preview and asks you to confirm the spelling before paying. If we make an error on our side, we rebind at no charge.
