Cambria Craft Bindery is a Nelson bookbinding studio at 18 Brough Terrace in Washington Valley. It was established in 1994, and the current bookbinder took over the business after training with its founder. The website says it repairs books with torn pages, broken spines or damaged covers, restores books, and does commercial and thesis binding. It also makes hand-bound notebooks, sketchbooks, guest books, journals and photo albums, and takes private commissions. The workshop is open by appointment only, and the website says there is a long waiting list, so urgent work is not usually possible. Enquiries are by phone or email, and the phone number is on the website.
One customer had a treasured book from 1979 repaired, which was fragile, and says the repair was perfect and the care taken was exceptional.
