Leather binding offers a range of options, from traditional to contemporary designs, allowing for both classic and modern aesthetics.

Traditional Leather Binding
Available in full, half, or quarter leather bindings, these options can feature raised bands, foiling, hand tooling, and marbled papers to create a truly unique and elegant finish.

Modern Leather Books
For a more contemporary look, we also offer sleek, simple leather bindings, perfect for those seeking a minimalist, yet high-quality finish.

Whether you prefer the intricate detailing of traditional leather or the clean lines of a modern design, our leather binding services combine durability with craftsmanship, making each book a lasting treasure.

Leather Minute Books – Preserving History with Care

Many historical organizations across the UK trust DAD Bookbinders to bind their minute books in full leather, matching the style and quality of the original historical volumes. This ensures consistency and a seamless look for the entire collection.

To maintain accuracy and continuity, we take a rub from the original pattern volume for future reference, guaranteeing that all subsequent volumes match perfectly in design and craftsmanship.

With attention to detail and the highest quality materials, our leather minute books not only preserve important historical records but also enhance their presentation for generations to come.


Leather Material – Premium Quality for Every Project

At DAD Bookbinders, we use only the finest Goatskin and Calf leather sourced from J. Hewit & Sons Ltd, one of the UK’s premier leather suppliers.

Whether you're looking for traditional colours to match existing bindings or prefer more modern options, we offer a range of leathers to suit your project’s needs. Our carefully selected materials ensure durability, elegance, and a professional finish for every book we bind.
