Praxis Bookbindery
Holding a book or document in our hands, we gain access to information and history, ideas and images that have been passed down to us through the written word. What we also inherit are the book's texture, smell, sense of weight and size, which enhance our experience of the past and deepen our understanding of human nature. Today's extensive data bases and electronic encyclopedias, while wonderful resources, cannot replace the physical presence of a book. At Praxis Bookbindery, respect for the time honored tradition of bookbinding is combined with a contemporary approach to product design and invention.
Owner Peter Geraty brings eighteen years experience to the bindery. During this time, he has refined his art through practice and repetition. The result is tangible -- his work reflects careful attention to detail, proficiency with a wide range of archival-quality materials and sound yet imaginative artistry. Whether your interest is in book restoration, conservation, limited editions, fine binding design, or presentation binding, Praxis can meet your specific needs.
A well-equipped shop enables the bindery to provide a wide range of services under one roof. You can count on receiving the individualized attention that will allow you to communicate your ideas and draw on the expertise of Peter Geraty an associate of the American Institute for Conservation, a recognized authority in hand-bookbinding and member of the Guild of Book Workers. Peter's knowledge of history and materials, his willingness to experiment and take on a challenge, and his reputation as a careful and patient craftsman form the backbone of Praxis Bookbindery.
