Gerry carries on the tradition of fine binding by hand, in tandem with using modern methods for binding paperbacks, theses and ring binders, catering to collectors, libraries, private collections and people who appreciate the finest workmanship. Each book is individually hand crafted from its hand-sewn spine, laced cords and raised bands to its headband, handmade with brightly coloured silks, toning with leather and marbled paper. We use the finest quality leathers (calf and goatskin for the most part), handmade marbled papers and acid free end-papers. The spine of each book is also finished by hand. A mixture of glycerine and egg white - used in book binding since the 16th century - is applied to the embossed leather, and a double layer of 22ct gold leaf is pressed on top of this, once the mixture has dried. This highly skilled placing of gold leaf by hand is used for each individual letter on the book's spine. The fame of the Kenny Bindery has attracted commissions for re-binding and restoring collections in Europe, the United States and Asia. A noted example of this is the restoration of the memoirs of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American born Saint who founded the Order of the Sisters of Charity. Kenny's hand-crafted volumes have also been presented to former President Mary Robinson, Pope John Paul II, Muhammad Ali, and former US Presidents, Ronald Regan and Jimmy Carter to name but a few. Gerry's daughter Caroline who graduated from the Dublin institute of Technology and was presented with an award for her thesis on Bookbinding carries on the tradition Gerry started when he founded the bindery more than 35 years ago.

Dunguaire Castle is a 16th-century tower house on the southeastern shore of Galway Bay in County Galway, Ireland, near Kinvarra (also spelled Kinvara). The name derives from the Dun of King Guaire, the legendary king of Connacht. The castle's 75-foot tower and its defensive wall have been restored, and the grounds are open to tourists during the summer. It is thought to be the most photographed castle in Ireland.HistoryThe castle was built by the Hynes clan around 1520, a family who may have been associated with the area since around 662. At the time, the royal palace of Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin, the legendary king of Connacht and progenitor of the clan is believed to have been in this area. According to current thinking by archeologists, the original dun was most likely a ring fort, the remains of which can be found on the small promontory just to the northeast of the current castle.Dunguaire Castle was transferred in the 17th century to Oliver Martin (father of Richard Martin fitz Oliver). Richard Martin (or Martyn) lived here until 1642. Dunguaire Castle remained in his family. However, their main seat was Tullira (or Tulira) Castle near Gort and Dunguaire fell into disrepair. In 1924, after Edward Martyn and with him the senior line of the family had died in 1922, the surgeon and poet Oliver St. John Gogarty purchased Dunguaire. Gogarty began restoring the castle and established it as the meeting place for the leading figures of the Celtic Revival, such as W.B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Augusta, Lady Gregory, and John Millington Synge.
