Hand Bound Books


I took a book binding class in College and was immediately drawn to this fantastic medium. The bindings can become so intricate and have thousands of years of history behind them from cultures all around the world. Every book also has a distinct personality according to the materials used.

I still make a book or two during the year, but I have found in general that most people do not understand the amount of time and energy it takes to make one. It seems that the decorative books you find in places like "Barnes and Noble" fulfill most people's needs.

I am more then happy to discuss making a book for someone. They make great journals or special occasion albums and can give that personal touch to something that deserves the attention.
