Whites/Law Bindery takes pride in binding Law Reports in the traditional way. In fact, we have been binding books for some of Australia's leading Legal Institutions and Firms since the 1940's.

Despite economic pressure and lack of information in the market place, we have managed to maintain and even improve our standards, and still sew our books.

 LawReports by the very nature of our legal system, are required for reference for generations.

Similar to digging the foundations of a building, which cannot be seen,
it takes about 30% of the total time to sew a book for binding. Yet this work is not easily noticed. Simply glueing and not sewing, saves an abundance of time for a bookbinder.

Many people do not even understand preparation of the book block  in bookbinding. For example glued bindings. Flexible plastic glues are flexible because they contain plasticisers.

Plasticisers migrate out of the substances that they are contained in. They do this at varying rates, depending on the environment (for example in and out of the sun or air conditioning).  Plastic glues eventually go hard. Plastic glues may stand up to initial wear but time and air conditioning, is their enemy, It is not by their use !!!
