Stock levels are low at the moment following a successful fair at Hyde End, but they should be back up again in a few weeks! If the book you had your eye on has been sold, please email a query, I may be able to make another.
Our Journals
Our books are all individually made in our workshop in Hertfordshire. The leather we use comes from a number of sources, and as much is recycled as possible. We only use sewn bookblocks and the finished books are constructed using traditional bookbinding techniques, including linen-lined spines to aid flexibility and strength. Unless otherwise specified, all books have a satin ribbon and hand cut endpapers.
As a natural product, the leather used in the bindings will change over time and variations in colour and texture are inevitable and to be embraced!
Our Commitment
We aim to use local suppliers and are committed to supporting independent companies and services.
Our Pricing Explained
Each book is different and so all are individually priced according to the materials used and the techniques involved in their production.
