Tools
All-Ligator sewing frame The most popular sewing frame in my classes at NBSS, and my favorite frame of all the ones I have seen or used.
P & S Engraving Finishing tools made by hand. Gladly does custom designs and orders. They are probably the closest thing to catnip for binders. Pictures of their shop can be found by clicking here.
Starrett Tools Maybe the best tool manufacturer in the world. Amazing rulers, dividers, pin vises, etc.
Supplies

Colophon Book Arts Supply Sewing thread, cords, tapes. Their main emphasis is marbling supplies.
Chena River Marblers Papers, marbled cloth and also great instructors.

Fisher Scientific Cotton balls, finishing stoves, gloves, pipets, alcohol, etc.

Leather Conservation Centre Sellaset leather dyes.
New York Central Papers of all types from all over the world.
