Hollingworth & Moss
provide the craftsmanship and binding expertise for the mythesis website, and this
online solution allows you to sit back and relax after submitting your order without
the last minute panic usually associated with the completion and binding of your
thesis / dissertation.
Thesis / Dissertation Binding - Quality You Can Be Proud Of
We offer a variety of binding styles for theses including hardbound, softbound,
and loose leaf. Your thesis document will be printed on high-definition laser printers
using the finest quality 100gsm paper. Your binding will be sewn and glued as appropriate
in our dedicated bindery, and the lettering stamped with specialist hot-foil blocking
machines. This guarantees a finish that you can be proud of.
Online Thesis PDF Conversion
Adobe ™ PDF solves many common document-sharing problems: PDF will preserve
the look-and-feel of your original thesis document, allowing us to view and print
your file in our print shop regardless of the platform or format on which it was
created. For this reason we can only accept theses in PDF format, and to facilitate
this we are offering you an online PDF conversion service free of charge!
The PDF service we offer is specially tailored to the high resolution of our laser
printers, ensuring that the print quality matches that of your original document
- in other words you don't need to worry about losing quality in our PDF conversion.
Once converted your thesis document is uploaded it is stored on our server for
a minimum of 14 days. This allows you to come back to the site and order the binding
of that document without having to convert or upload it again.
Thesis & Dissertation Binding Online - Thesis Templates & Covers
Our order process not only allows you to select your university and course from
our unique and growing database of thesis layouts, but also allows you to customise
the cover design to suit your own tastes. Don't worry if your course is not included
in our selection list, you can chose a template from another course and customise
the thesis look to your needs.
We currently offer thesis templates for Leeds University, Leeds Metropolitan University,
University College London, Imperial College London, London School of Economics,
London University affiliates, The University of Manchester, The Univerity of Huddersfield,
The University of Central Lancashire, The University of Bradford, Bradford College,
and many others.
If you are a course administrator or lecturer and you would like to add your own
course templates to the site please contact us at: www.hollingworthmss.co.uk/contact.asp

rendition of your cover layout, allowing you to visualise the finished product online.
On step 4 You can also choose from a variety of
cover colours and lettering in gold, silver, white, or black foil, and from
a variety of binding styles, you can also
choose pockets and extras for your binding,
such as insert pockets, hand crafted pockets, and CD pockets, etc. On step 5
you will be able to either: select a document that you have previously uploaded
or converted on our server, or upload and select a new document. After you have
selected your PDF document you move on to step 6 where the number
of pages in your thesis document is calculated, and you are provided with an instant
breakdown of printing costs. You can specify exactly which pages you wish to be
