Chapter One
Your order arrives.
Publishers, universities, and businesses send us their titles — one text PDF and a one-piece cover file, from a single copy to thousands.
- Print on demand — no minimums, no warehouse
- Short runs, library binding, thesis & textbook rebinding
- Pre-binding & digitization for library collections
- Recurring partners plug into the automated order system
One file in. One finished book out.
Chapter Two
Real people pick it up.
Every book receives individual attention — the prepress team verifies every file, confirms materials, and asks questions before the press runs.
- Prepress file verification on every order
- A person to call — not a ticket queue
- Nearly 80 years of "we've seen this before"
Answers before ink.
Chapter Three
The presses run.
Digital inkjet web presses run your pages roll-to-roll while your cover prints in parallel — text block and cover meet at the bindery.
- Inkjet and toner platforms, color or mono
- Hardcover, paperback, coil, wire-o, or saddle stitch
- Text and cover produced simultaneously
- Sustainable: print only what's needed — LEAN, inventory-free
Printed today, bound tomorrow.
Chapter Four
The bindery does its work.
The craft the company was built on: strong cases and square spines, in materials picked from a real wall of book cloths, foils, and headbands.
- Case binding, PUR & EVA adhesive, mechanical binding
- Summit book cloths, foil stamping, printed endsheets
- Conservation, restoration & textbook rebinding too
- Traditional craftsmanship, kept alive since 1947
Bound to last.
Chapter Five
Held to a higher standard.
Before anything ships, it's checked — square, clean, correctly collated, cover true. Library work is built with ANSI/NISO Library Binding Standard materials and methods.
- Quality check on every finished book
- Certified library binder — the standard libraries specify
- If it's not right, it doesn't ship
The standard libraries trust.

- Often shipped within 24–72 hours
