I have been binding books for almost 10 years, ever since my first bookbinding class at San Francisco Center for the Book. Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur in a world of electronic devices but the scratch of pen on paper will always be a satisfying, self-affirming tactile action for me.

My shop is small because each book takes over 2 hours to make (again: DINOSAUR), plus I have other jobs. I enjoy using high quality, acid-free materials that are pleasing to the touch and I only bind books when I'm in a good mood because otherwise I will make mistakes and ruin expensive materials. These books are sturdy and built to last- they have traveled all over the world in backpacks.

I also make custom orders- guest books, exposed spine sketch books, and larger sizes than what is listed on this site. Feel free to message me if you have specific requests for colors/patterns. Unfortunately, I am not trained in restoring/rebinding antique books; you need a college degree to do that right. Keep in mind that custom orders require a minimum of 1 week to complete and will cost more than the books listed in my shop depending on the type and amount of materials required for the project.

Thanks for reading this and thanks visiting my store!
