Philip Collier Bookbinding - Birmingham

My name is Philip Collier and I am the former head of the University of Birmingham Bindery, where the large majority of work undertaken was thesis, dissertation and periodical binding. I have over 40 years of expertise in all aspects of binding.

I have bound students' theses for the University of Birmingham, Aston University, and Birmingham City University to name a few.

I am local to all of these universities and can provide turn round times of between one and three days for your thesis.

I can provide a collection and delivery service if you have printed your thesis and you want information about how to bind it.

Alternatively I can print your thesis from a PDF file, bind it and post it back to you.


I offer a range of services, including:

Thesis binding.
After three or five years' hard work you have turned those blank pages into a special degree which you and your family will treasury for a long time. Let me now finish your hard work by producing a quality hard bound book which you will be proud of.

Periodical/collection binding

Printing your thesis from a PDF file

Bespoke boxes
If you collect magazines e.g. football programmes or comics, then you could have them bound into a book or have a box made to fit them. This will preserve them and it will mean you can store them easily.

If you are compiling someone's life story then why not have it bound into book with personalised lettering? This would provide a lasting present.

Photo books.
Select your favorite photos of family, friends or holidays with personalised gold or silver lettering on the front board.
