I've been making books and zines and block prints since high school, and I've long been interested in the look and feel of books and paper goods. By around 2002, these interests evolved into my micropress Beth Bee Books.
The artwork in/on my books includes pen & ink drawings, block prints, and screen prints. I’m also an oil painter, but so far I have focused on selling my books on Etsy. Hopefully a time will come when I also offer prints of my paintings!
In the meantime I run Beth Bee Books from my home studio in Corvallis, a university city of about 56,000 in Western Oregon, located south of Portland, in the lush and agriculturally productive Willamette Valley. I currently also work full-time during my weekdays in a non-art profession, and all of that keeps me pretty busy.
I was already self-publishing earlier zine-like versions of Rabbit Food Cookbook and making address books when I opened this shop with Etsy in the summer of 2007. The shop and my products have continued to grow since then. One of the most fun aspects of running the shop is knowing all the places around the US and the world where my books (and my creative work) are going. I love being part of the indie arts and crafts community and I really enjoy the direct connection I have here with customers and other artists. ☆

Hi! I love little things, precise but no-too-polished design, patterns, antique stores, objects odd and unusual, mid-century modern accoutrements, and being organized.

Payment
Shipping
International orders will be sent by USPS International first class mail by default. This is by far the most cost effective option; however, this shipping option does not automatically include insurance and arrival time can be variable - up to 35 days in some rarer cases. Please contact me promptly if you wish to pay extra to add insurance or upgrade to a different shipping option for an international order. Also, international shoppers: if you do not see a shipping option for your country location just send me a message and I'll be happy to set up an additional destination/rate.
Although I always aim to provide good customer service and quick shipping, sometimes what I can do for you, in regards to accelerated shipping, is limited by my day job and other time constraints. This is a one-person business. Your understanding is appreciated!
If the wrong address has been provided by the buyer, and the item has already shipped, I will re-ship at the buyer's expense once the item returns to me.
Instant download items are available to download from your etsy Account > Purchases section once payment has cleared. There are no shipping fees for instant downloads as no physical product is mailed.
Additional policies and FAQs
FAQs:
Q: Can the book be customized?
A: In general I do not offer customization of my products.
The recipe book covers are screen printed in batches and I do not offer added text/names to the covers or changes to the text. The recipe book section dividers are printed in bulk sets of 1000, so I do not offer custom changes to the book sections. However, I can add a custom inside cover page with a custom message if that is desired.
The address books and blank books are currently block printed and depending on my schedule and time constraints, I may entertain a request for a custom change. If you wish I would make something in a different size or another product you'd love to see, I won't be able to make it immediately but I might keep it in mind for product development later.
Q: Do you sell your blank books with lined pages?
A: No. All of the books come with blank, unlined paper. I do not order and keep an inventory of alternate pre-printed lined paper. This would require that I keep a whole second inventory of paper that I just don't have room for in my studio. I provide the DIY download files in my shop as an option for lines for those who really would prefer to have lined pages, but it's a do-it-yourself option and you have to do the printing.
Q: At checkout, what does "mark as gift" mean?
A: You can choose this option if you are having the order shipped directly to a gift recipient. It is not necessary if you're shipping it to yourself. If you mark the book as a gift when you check out, I will send the book with a shortened "gift receipt" that hides the item price and shows a gift message, if you add one. International buyers: please note that even if you mark an item as a gift, I am still required to mark the item(s) as merchandise and disclose the value for customs.
Q: Do you sell wholesale?
A: Retailers - Yes, I do occasional wholesale arrangements. Send me a message if you are interested in making an arrangement.
