    An excellent resource

    This directory is an excellent resource for paper lovers. For those new to bookbinding or with experience, it is an invaluable reference for all the key suppliers with notes about what they specialise in. It is easy to follow the links to the suppliers' website from the PDF which has saved time, avoiding lengthy internet searching! It is also reassuring to have a list compiled by someone who knows the industry so well.

    Invaluable Resource

    Just one year into my bookbinding journey, and only just beginning to compile a much-needed suppliers list, this wonderful resource felt like striking gold. It’s well-written and organised, and I can’t thank Susan enough for sharing her knowledge and experience with such generosity. Highly recommend!
