Handmade books and limited editions
Please note - I used to make lots of handmade books, but don’t have time to make many now.
But if you have a particular special order in mind, please contact me to discuss if I can help.
Examples below are of previous work.

I used to design and make pocketbooks and limited edition booklets. These included a whole range of designs and colours and several sizes, including my best seller - a 4x4inch handmade book that really does fit into your jeans pocket. Please scroll down to view a gallery of selected books. |
All my books were made in small batches or as one-off orders and commissions. Most of my handmade books had concertina style pages and folded flat for writing, sketching, drawing, notes and memos and as inspiration catchers for creative ideas. The pages were made from Fabriano Tiziano paper, which is suitable for watercolour, ink, pastel and collage and smooth enough for ordinary pens. All my designs were tested out on my own walking, writing and sketching trips where they were subjected to wind and weather, the scratchings of twig pens and brushes made from found objects.
I also created limited edition books of prose and poetry, some with original artwork.
Thank you to the many happy customers I have had over the years who commissioned me to create particular designs especially for them.
