We've modified the form of our mailing address slightly (we are still where we were, it's just we have a box now). If you are sending USPS mail, please add "Box 147" to the street address. It should read:

Middlesex Bindery
122 Western Ave, Box 147
Studio A-314
Lowell,MA 01851

Thanks!

Hours for February (and beyond): we will be here full time from now on. Our hours are (roughly) 9am to 5:30pm Tuesday through Friday and 9am to 4:00pm on Saturday. Later and other hours by appointment.

Special January hours.

Please note that the Monday through Thursday hours are available appointment times. We may or may not be open. We will be open Saturday and probably Friday.

Sorry about all the weird hours. I've been seconded to help someone out for a month.
