5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this custom journal/guest book for our wedding. Karen was amazing in walking me through the process, picking out the right fonts, designing the title page, and figuring out how to add some of the original art and poems. Thank you so much Karen!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely *outstanding* work on this very special item for us. I cannot overstress the amount of work, care and attention to detail Karen put in throughout the process - involving me in collaboratively making decisions, sharing plenty of progress and review opportunities, and making great suggestions for how to approach certain challenges. The end result is something we will treasure forever and has a very special place in our hearts. Thank you ❤️

5 out of 5 starsI cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Karen was to work with. She picked out the absolute perfect book, and kept me updated every step of the way with pictures and check-in questions as she worked on my slightly unusual request of a book. It's everything I wanted, and I'm so excited to upload pictures after it's been used for its intended purpose. Thank you so, so much!!

5 out of 5 starsAnother masterpiece! I have ordered books from Spellbinderie in recent years as special gifts for friends and family and have always been so pleased with Karen’s work…..so this time I ordered my own 😄 The book cover selections are all so beautiful it’s difficult to choose, but I found the perfect one for me and knew Karen would use her exceptional talent, skills and artistic eye to make it special….and it is! I love it! She really works with you to ensure the end product is exactly what you want and keeps you informed of the progress along the way which I really appreciate. Combining functionality with aesthetics isn’t always easy, but it’s always the outcome with one of Karen’s books. They are all works of art! Thank you, Merci, Grazie Karen!

5 out of 5 starsKaren was an absolute dream to work with. The kindest and most responsive person ever to work with. She did an absolutely amazing job on our beautiful book for our wedding guest book and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. As a literary teacher and lover, I knew this would be perfect for our wedding and it far exceeded my expectations. I am so, SO happy with this and will cherish it forever. Thank you.

Page Count & Binding Method
The page count given in listings counts both the front and back of each paper, not individual sheets.
I offer two types of exposed spine bindings, Coptic for smaller light weight books and Raised Support for larger, heavier books. These exposed spine binding offer flexibility and beautiful design options for rebound books. Due to the nature of rebinding old books, the original spine must be destroyed in most cases.
ATTENTION PERSONALIZED ORDERS
•For guestbooks/journals: Text must be submitted no later than one week prior to your ship by date
•For plaques: Text must be submitted within 24 hours of your order.
Please check your Etsy messages regularly to approve drafts.
Unfortunately text sent later than stated above may result in a delayed ship by date.
Why can't the original spine be kept as is?
Often the old fabric that covers the spine is too fragile to keep. Additionally most old books have rounded spines rather than flat. To properly rebind these old books, it's necessary to make a new rounded spine, not a flat spine. This method also dictates the page count whereas an exposed spine allows choice.
I offer exposed spines for my rebound work due to its beauty combined with practicality and most of all to ensure you receive a rebound book that will last.
