| Most frequently asked questions regarding Theses / Dissertations: | ||
| I
would like my thesis to look as impressive as possible for submission.
Which form of binding do you suggest? |
||
|
What margins are required for binding? We prefer 3cm on the spine or binding edge for sewing and 2cm on the 3 other edges. If you have used Word to produce your work then standard margins will be acceptable. Ensure that fold-outs and diagrams produced have reasonable margins and that page numbers, headers and footers are away from the edge. |
||
| Can
I have a pocket at the back? Yes, we can supply pockets for maps, CD Roms, floppys, etc. |
||
| Do
you do soft binding/comb-binding? Yes, all forms and any thickness. |
||
| Do
you do soft binding with an acetate front and card back? Yes |
||
| Is
gold lettering the only option? Gold is required for Cambridge submission copies. For yourselves we can offer silver or black also. |
||
| I
would like my personal thesis to look different from submission copies.
Do you offer anything? Yes, many options. Please ask when you bring your submission copies. |
||
| Do
I need to book for the 24 hour service? No, just remember the 8.30am deadline. |
||
| If
I do not require the 24 hour service, what other service do you offer? 2-3 days. |
||
| How
much do you charge? Please contact us for details. |

||
| Are
you open on Saturdays? 90% of the time we are open between 10am - midday, this is for drop offs and collections only so please ring first. |
||
| Do
you print as well as bind? No, we bind only. But go to Printing |
||
| Can
I post my book / thesis to you? Yes you can, please enclose all contact details and if your thesis is not Cambridge University then we need to know your binding specifications. |
||
| What
paper should I use? 80grm is normally used. Different papers react to different printers so do a test to see if the print smudges by running your fingers over the first page you print. If it does you have made the wrong choice. |
