By the way, since those years were the hard part, we want the binding process to be as easy and stress-free as possible. You have several options with our thesis/dissertation binding service: Copy the number of sets you want bound and drop them off at our bindery; Copy the number of sets you want bound and ship them to us; E-mail your PDF to us and we will print and bind the number of sets you need. We will follow the specifications (if provided) of your college/university for copies you submit to the institution, or you can select your own layout for personal copies.
