Memory Catchers

Because most of our clients need a very limited number of copies, we now have a printer and bindery equipment in our studio capable of creating short runs of both soft or hard cover books. Since much of the work is done by hand, we're able to give individual attention to each copy. We do have quick turn-around.

Last year we bound several hardback books for Scott City Grade School third graders using their original stories, illustrations, and cover design. Our price compares favorably with both Houchen and Koerperich Binderies. Because we are close to you, we could avoid the high cost of postage.

Most of my clients are families who want to capture their Mom and Dad's stories before it's too late. We do any part of that project from interviews to writing, editing, layout, cover design, printing, and binding.

We'd be pleased to visit with you to answer any questions you might have about our services.

From Ann Schuster:
I have worked with Houchen Bindery in Utica, Ne. in the past to bind
student artwork to the cover of an existing book (these were
library titles that had been defaced or damaged and needed rebinding).

From Kerma Crouse:
I have used Koerperich Bindery in Seldon, Kansas for binding student
authored books. They look like a Master Thesis book with plain bindings
but can be in a variety of colors. Phone is 785-386-4392.

It is free if you put one copy in the library. Parents may purchase a
copy to have for their own. Binding is not the best, but the price is
right and they are VERY FAST!
