I love to make handmade books. I carefully select the cover paper, filler
paper, and pretty ribbons, and I create the entire book by hand and bind
it together using classic Japanese bookbinding techniques. The books
are all made with archival-quality, acid-free papers and glues.
My handmade books can be used for photo albums, scrapbooks, journals,
diaries, guest books, or whatever else you can think of!

I often sell my books. I keep several designs in stock, or I can customize
a book to suit your wishes and design ideas. These books make great gifts
and treasured keepsakes. If you would like to purchase one of my handmade
books, just send me an e-mail and
we'll work together to select just the right book for you.
Payment may be made via PayPal, money order, or check (held 10 days).
The details of payment will be arranged when you order.
If you live in or near Lexington, KY, delivery can be arranged. I can also
ship books to you (or to someone else as a gift!) if desired.
Contact me for a shipping quote.
