This website was originally constructed in 1996 as an online bookbinding resource. At the time it was one of the first of its kind (and I think the first entry in its category on Yahoo!) although now there are many other resources doing a sterling job available on the Internet. Some of the information (like my book on the Internet, published in 1996) is now quaintly out of date, but The Bookbinder's Toolbox – a buy, sell and exchange for bookbinding equipment and supplies – is still going strong.

It's possible that you have reached this site because you are interested in background information on Chris Lipscombe. You're welcome to browse, although you will find more up-to-date information about me on Facebook or LinkedIn.

This year I'm standing as a Labour candidiate for the Wellington Regional Council. I'm particularly keen to promote

• A review of the Wellington Regional Strategy and what we've achieved over the past three years
• The development of regional infrastructure and services that support sustainable economic growth
• Effective consultation
• Affordable and efficient public transport
• Keeping water in public hands

If you live in Wellington and care about our city, then you might like to visit my campaign website. There you'll find lots more information about me and my campaign for Wellington's creative future.

However, if you're ...
