Yes. If we see your text is too close to the left edge (Gutter), we automatically add a 10mm binding margin so your text doesn't get hidden.

Draft review copy vs final submission copy

Before ordering a thesis or submission copy

  • Check whether the department wants hard binding, spiral review copies, or both.
