FAQ

Stack of hand crafted hardback books showing headbands, folded folios and detail of linen binding canvas used.

• Do you offer custom book sizes?

For now we're not able to create custom size books. However, do be in touch with your ideas. Sometimes we're able to accommodate.

• Can I use my own fonts?

Absolutely! Just let us know the name. Usually we have it, or can download it. Or you can send us your preferred font, too.

• Can you print on the BACK COVER of the books?

Yes! On the 6 x 8" books that is no problem.

In ALL CASES we can custom print the inside covers of your book(s).

Here is a great place to BROWSE IDEAS

• How is my book made?

Each book is handcrafted here in house using time-honored bookbinding techniques for exceptional quality and durability.
• Hand-sewn folios create a strong, flexible foundation.
• Reinforced spines ensure lasting durability.
• Hardback covers wrapped in binding canvas and/or heavy cover paper add a timeless elegance.
• The final step: each cover is pressed to perfection, taking its final form as it dries.

• What’s the difference between full canvas and quarter canvas covers?

On larger books (8×10” or 8.5×11”), you can choose:
• FULL CANVAS COVERS: The entire cover is wrapped in canvas, with a 5×5” customizable inlay on the front.
• QUARTER CANVAS COVERS: The spine (¼ of the cover) is wrapped in canvas. The rest is white or kraft paper, which we can custom print.

My mother lamented having wanted to share her wisdom with my children but passed before she could. I don't want to miss this either so ordered journals and hard back slip cases for each of us so we can jot down notes as they come. Alex designed the covers and they are perfect!

This book looks great and they were so helpful during the ordering process. I really like that they send a mock-up first. I asked if it could be sent quickly, and it was. Highly recommended.

Item was perfect! I cant wait to use it on our upcoming trip. Seller was open about shipping the entire time. I own a shop as well so I understand how some items can take weeks as a turnaround. I truly appreciated all communication they had with me.
