Book binding in Phnom Penh

Book binding. It really is an art form.

Good commercial printers in Phnom Penh are everywhere. None of them, however, specialize in book binding, and high-quality book binding work is rare. A few printers I’ve visited just looked sheepishly at the floor and acknowledged that, while they can print books, they are not very good at it. A quick glance at the spines of sample books made the point all too clear. A few others did decent, if not great, work. And while print quality was generally pretty good everywhere, paper stock was narrow.
