		Ferrari in Camera Published by Palawan Press. Prototype binding for a special edition of ten copies. Size: 350 x 350mm. As a prototype we experimented with specially milled aluminium boards which are sprayed with paint on both sides to a vehicle quality finish. The boards are attached to the book using metal rivets, with the leather around the spine of the book fitting snugly into a rebated area on the inside of the boards. The spine of the book is foil blocked in white, and the book housed in a paper covered slipcase. The final edition was available as a different variation of this design.

A series of mounted photogravures with accompanying pages and captions printed letterpress at Book Works. The covers are made from laminated layers of wood and subsequently french polished. The spine of the book is left exposed to show the sewing structure. The prints were also available as a boxed set housed in a solander box.
		Paints ten roomS by Simon Patterson Published as a special edtion of 20 copies by Locus and International Design Publishing. Size: 305 x 250mm. Commissioned as a special edition of the artists' monograph, the design involved having text running around all the edges of the covers. To fully acheive the effect of this design the Studio worked to tolerances of one third of a millimetre. The title is foil blocked in white on the spine and front board, and the endpapers printed letterpress by the Studio. The book is housed in a clear perspex slipcase allowing the viewer a clear sight of all the edges.
		Ring binders, and binders to contain wirobound documents Custom made, short-run binders to contain loose pages, or wirobound documents that are attached by a pocket inside the back cover. Both of these examples are cloth covered and have been foil blocked.
		Japanese binding styles This illustrates one of the numerous variations of sewing and binding styles commonly associated with Japan. French folded pages and closing devices using bone pegs are also traditionally associated with this style of binding.
		Spoon Published by Phaidon Press. Size: 210 x 305mm The Studio was asked to make the prototype bindings for this commercially produced book. Working closely with the designer we made a series of different versions of the book to discover the best materials and the correct shape of the 'wave' for the pages and covers before the publisher went into full production.
		The Brazen Oracle by Mel Jackson Published by Book Works in an edition of 1000. Size: 110 x 154mm The photograph of books from a collection within the University of London Library was reproduced in a continuous folding concertina format. The pages are bound in a printed paper cover reproduced from one of the bindings in the Library. The title details are foil blocked on the front cover.
		Photographers and Designers Portfolio book Many of the custom made books for photographers and designers require a system that allows the pages to be removed so that work can be updated or tailored to a clients' needs. These books can take many forms but the majority use a system of post binding which enables easy access to the work without losing too much of the feel of a conventional book.
