Artistic Binding is shown above.  Painstakingly made by hand using the finest papers and ancient techniques, including hidden inner binding and glued corner covers.  These are our finest books and are signed by the binder.  Please note that the papers used on the cover will vary — using rare papers means that each book is unique and individual, just like our customers. $99.95 per book.

Simple Binding (above) is our most popular binding — bound in the Japanese style, using sturdy jade-colored card covers and rough string (no glue or staples)  $9.95 per book.

 

Plain Binding (not shown) is simple Western-style booklet binding using metal staples along the folded spine, often called a saddle-stitched booklet.   These editions are very economical and still beautiful, using the same card stock as the Simple Binding.  $4.95 per book

Plain, Simple & Artistic Bindings

The artistic bindings vary from what is shown — as I find interesting handmade papers, I try them out — so no two artistic books are the same.
