We've been repairing and restoring old and valuable books for over 50 years. Assesing each book individually, we can advise on the most accepted and trusted conservation techniques, offering the perfect balance of the aesthetic with the highest professional standards.
For more than 50 years Hilton Studio has been the leader in the field of producing bespoke, handmade commemorative books and binders, inscribed and illustrated by craftspeople using traditional methods of bookbinding, calligraphy and illumination. With employees from each branch of the armed forces it became inevitable that we would be commissioned to produce works for each and previous clients include HMS Superb, The Queens Lancs, The Supermarine Spitfire, the Royal Army Medical Corps 202 Field Reg and HMS Forward. Our varied range of commemorative books in this area ranges from special VIP visitors books, regimental/corps histories, regimental battle honours and regimental books of remembrance.
Our handmade and inscribed presentation books, created by craftspeople using traditional skills and the finest quality materials, offer a unique and sophisticated gift. Our comprehensive range of products includes beautifully bound books for weddings, anniversaries, personal achievements, retirements, books of remembrance, family history and life books. Our commissions include the personal and career biography of Sir Adrian Cadbury, Bamfords family tree and requests from Barclays and Premiership football clubs.
Our hand bound condolence books with richly blocked gold lettering to the front cover include a beautifully hand-inscribed dedication to the deceased on the title page and are intended to be signed by all those attending a funeral service or reception. The pages of the book are pre-printed with decorated rectangles to accept the individual tributes of the mourners. Versions are also available with blank pages. They are supplied in a silk lined, hand finished presentation box with a Parker pen. Our commissions include books of condolence for Princess Diana and football legend Brian Clough.
Our handmade books of remembrance provide an inexpensive and lasting memorial to babies and are available in full bound leather, with gold-tooled covers or loose leaf binding enabling pages to be sent for inscribing. Our miniature books and cards provide permanent and personal memorials and these can complement our books of remembrance or be used as a stand-alone memorial in their own right. All are presented in hand finished presentation boxes. Our existing customers include bereavement support groups, churches, crematoria, hospitals and NHS Trusts.
