MADE BY HAND
Nowadays most notebooks out there are made by machine and even though the printed on the covers change, the books are all the same. Our books are made by our own hands, producing high-quality books with that special uniqueness that sets them apart from replicated, manufactured books. When you buy a HandBound book you're taking part in a long and and proud tradition of bookbinding.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a very unique book and the quality is excellent. The I messaged the seller numerous times and asked about color changes and she always messaged me right back and nothing was a big deal to change-she sent more pictures to choose from and was very helpful. I was surprised how quickly the book arrived…… it came halfway around the world!

I've always loved books. My first bookbinding effort was a raggedly sewn pamphlet in which I wrote all the things that made my 7-year-old self happy. I'm still making hand-bound books & now I get to share my booky happiness with others too!
