Since 2000, Scrub Oak Bindery strives to bring creativity and excellence in craft to everything we do, whether conservation, fine binding, or fine press editions. The fine bindings issued from the bindery and its partners have been exhibited worldwide. Some of our fine press editions are housed in the most important institutions and private collections in the country, including the Library of Congress, the Beinecke Library at Yale and the Firestone Library at Princeton University. We bring a respect for the unique history of everything we work on and assess each job with care so that the treatment is always appropriate. The work we do here at Scrub Oak Bindery is much more than work, it is our passion.
