5 out of 5 starsShould have checked the measurements more closely - it is a tiny sketchbook. Well made, though, and I shall have some mini experiments...

Shop policies
All the book blocks are handbound and hand-trimmed, not readymades bought from craft stores. Most of my books also feature sturdy, handsewn silk headbands with a core of leather or hemp cord - these add a unique touch and also support the book when you're pulling it from the shelf. If the book has endpapers, the book block is usually attached to the covers with mull and a protective hinge, which is made of leather or bookcloth. The hinge prevents the endpapers from unnecessary wear & abrasion caused by folding the book open and close. These are only a few of the many details that are featured in my books.
All my book necklaces are made of of repurposed leather, paper and cardboard - some of them are made of reclaimed material, and some of little scraps that bookbinders tend to produce when making larger pieces. These are very sustainable and earth-friendly items in which the only new part is the leather-like cord along with the metal ring that connects the cord to the book.
I got my own business ID in January 2010 and have been binding books for customers ever since.
