Thesis & Dissertation Binding

We will bind your thesis with the same care and attention to detail that you used to create it. Thesis binding uses the same method as standard hard cover books. With this method, the text pages are glued together at the spine to create a sort of "ext block." The "end leaves that hold the text block in the case is applied to the binding edge of the text block. The cover is created separately using selected materials and is glued to the end leaves and text block to create a book that will last for years.

Preparing Your Thesis

Pages:

Because of the trimming process, please allow a 3/4" margin on the binding edge of each page and at least a 1/2" margin at the top, bottom, and outside edge of the page.

Book1One works exclusively with PDF files. Creating a PDF is very easy and can be done two different ways:

        1. You can convert your document to PDF using your own PDF converter 
            either online or as a print driver on your own computer. When
            converting to PDF, please maintain the "highest resolution" and make
            sure the fonts are embedded.

        2. Book1One's online-ordering system allows you to upload many
            different file formats. This system will convert your file to a print ready
            PDF. Please be sure to completely review your file on the "approve
            page" as this is the file that will print.


Thesis Cover: 

Standard thesis cover foil stamping includes the title of the document centered on the front cover as well as the spine of the book and also includes the authors name and year of completion on the spine.
