Traditional Bookbinding Since 1900
Located in Boston, Massachusetts, the Harcourt Bindery is also the oldest traditional hand bookbinder in the United States. In 2022, Raptis Rare Books acquired the bindery as a part of their ongoing commitment to keep the tradition of book preservation a part of our history and culture.rn
