The city and guild support the school for bookbinders. The students are both apprentices and journeymen. They work week day evenings and Sunday mornings.

All students must be grounded in the general elements underlying the trade before they are allowed to take up any phase as a specialty. No fee is charged the apprentices of guild members; others pay five marks per term; journeymen pay nine marks per term.
