Medieval inspired leather journals and blank books

My blank journals with bindings derived from medieval prototypes are listed for sale on Etsy.com. My journals are available in a range of sizes from 96 to 320 pages. These books are made from archival papers and premium leathers. They make great gifts for anyone who keeps a journal or enjoys quality sketch books. They can be personalized with gold stamped initials or customized with unusual papers and embellishments.

I also sell, on Etsy, my handmade envelopes and stationery sets, made from recycled papers, such as blueprints and old sheet music. Use this link.

Book Restoration and Repair

You may have reached this page looking for someone to repair your damaged books. I recently changed from restoring and repairing damaged books to making new journals.

If you are looking for someone to restore books I suggest contacting the Guild of Book Workers and asking for referrals to recommended binders in your area. Here is a link to the Guild of Book Workers.

Custom boxes, Portfolios

Most bookbinders can create custom clam-shell boxes and protective portfolios and folders to hold and protect books, manuscripts and papers, or prints and even smaller items such as postcards or letters. Boxes can be made in all shapes and sizes, not only rectangular and square. The exterior of the box can even be given the same appearance as the book it protects.
