    I got my thesis bound in Kenny's last week and was extremely happy with the result, the final product looked very professional and the staff were very quick and efficient. I found the price to be very reasonable as well. Highly recommended!

    Make a booking with Kenny's and they should be able to fit you in very close to your deadline.

    I had my Dissertation done in JFK two years ago and it was cheaper than Kenny's. I was the only person in my class to get it done there and the general consensus was that it was just as good as the more expensive Kenny's job. They should be able to sort you out for your deadline no problem.

    Also, I needed more copies about two weeks after the initial print and the owner gave me a reduced rate due to repeat business.

    Edit: Just re-read your post - an hour? Very unlikely, same day possibly, but I'd be surprised if anywhere could do it for you in an hour.

    Brilliant stuff guys. Thank you! :)

    I think I'll go with Kenny's purely for the ease of submitting it online and only having to go into Galway once to collect it.

    I am wondering if anyone know where I can get a basic gum binding done in galway city . I have to hand up a thesis in a couple of weeks with two copies soft bound. The quality i want is something similar to a normal spiral bind except i dont want the spiral! I am aware that kennys do a soft bind with a gum bind but its too expensive, and much too high quality for what i need.
