Derek Hood is a fine bookbinder based in Bath, England.
His books are bound using a careful combination of traditional techniques and modern design.
All books are made completely by hand using a careful selection of quality leathers and paper.
Book edges are gilded using a variety of precious metals including gold, platinum and palladium leaf.
Years of experience in the binderies of Shepherds, Sangorski & Sutcliffe and Bayntun-Riviere have enhanced Derek's knowledge and helped produce the high level of craftmanship found in his award winning bindings.
