The F.J. Ratchford comprehensive range of products covers the full requirements of most book binders, in particular the two Rexine qualities RX15 and RX17 have featured on F.J. Ratchford's price list for over 60 years and is still the most popular leathercloth in the UK. Our product range extends further than Rexine Leathercloth, as we can   now supply over 40 stock shades in our Heritage Library Buckram at a width of 1070 mm which more than covers the requirements of most library binders.       In addition to processing bulk orders and supplying to the large trade binders, we are pleased to offer a collection and postal service for the hand binder who may require smaller quantities for a specific purpose. This service is accompanied with a comprehensive range of binding accessories, which includes threads, tapes, glue, leather, brushes, etc   and now fully reconditioned book binding equipment.         The binding of a book was, of old, a shrine on which the finest workmanship in bullion, and the costliest gems were lavished. In these days of commercial bindings, we have sometimes forgotten that bookbinding is one of the fine arts.A good book is worthy of the best attire, and the glorification of a master author, by a master binder.
