Bookbinding, restoration and cataloguing
BosBoeken is the home of traditional bookbinding, restoration and expert cataloguing of books and prints.
A passion for paper
Our services are split between bookbinding, boxmaking, repair and restoration and antiquarian services
Bookbinding and boxmaking
After finishing a two-year course in hand bookbinding in Hilversum, I now offer my services as a bookbinder and boxmaker to anyone interested. Take a look at my Portfolio page for an overview of my work, or Contact us for bespoke and personalised options.
Cataloguing books
For almost twenty years, I have been cataloguing books for booksellers, auction houses and libraries. From simple paperbacks to collation and STCN fingerprints, everything from 16th to 21st century has passed through my hands. Often in large volumes, sometimes as rare single tomes.
Book repair and restoration
Book repair, conservation and restoration are the lastest addition in the bibliophile spectrum that BosBoeken covers. Please visit our Restoration page for details.
Cataloguing prints
For the past ten years, prints (engravings, etchings, lithographs) have been a staple of my cataloguing work. Working for Laurentius Old Master Prints and the Rijksmuseum has given me a wealth of experience in identifying techniques, printmakers and imagery.
