    Book Construction  
   
We have engaged the talents of a pioneering designer and a master bookbinder to create our books and matching boxes. Each is handcrafted from carefully selected materials.

We use archival millboard as the foundation for our books and boxes. This is covered with Italian book cloth which we treat to ensure protection against spills and stains.

The paper in the books is a heavy-weight acid-free laid paper which creates a protective yet opulent background for any hard-copy photographs or mementoes you include.


The English bookbinding methods we use to bind the books have similarly been selected to ensure long-lasting quality. The end result is a product that combines the very best methods from the age-old craft of bookbinding with an eye for the best of modern day design. Each design combines richly colored textures, papers and trimmings sourced from all over the world.

The handcrafted nature of these books produces subtle variations from book to book adding to their uniqueness. Because every book is made from scratch it takes time to print and bind the book and construct its presentation box. As one of our customers said "Gorgeous takes time"!
