Panther Peak Bindery, LLC
Mark Andersson, who founded Panther Peak Bindery LLC in 2007, is a bookbinder, book conservator, and instructor. He has been binding and repairing books since 1987.
Mark was a two term President of the Guild of Book Workers, the national organization for book conservators, bookbinders, and other involved in books and book arts. In 1996 he was a Fulbright Scholar in Sweden. He has also received grants from the American Scandinavian Foundation and the Washington Library Association for the study of binding and conservation.
In 2020 Mark was part of the team which conserved and rebound the Idaho State Constitution. This project was done at the University of Utah’s Marriott Library conservation lab.
For nine years Mark was Department Head and sole instructor of the North Bennet Street School’s bookbinding program, teaching students from around the world all major aspects of bookbinding, book conservation and repair, while also maintaining a binding and book conservation practice.
Before coming to Boston, Mark was a book conservator in Seattle, working privately for individual and institutional clients across the United States and at the University of Washington.
After 36 years in the field, and about 15 years running Panther Peak Bindery, I am no longer repairing books for individuals.
I am, however, continuing to teach and will offer more classes than I have in the past. I expect to offer two one day classes per month to start and will alter that according to demand and interest.
If you have a book you’d like repaired I would recommend Tammy at 520.261.3356. Her web site is: newleafbookbinding.com
