About Our Books
Our handbound books are entirely made from scratch -- formatted, printed, and collated in-house, then bound in our own luxurious covers of handmade Tibetan Lokta paper. We use two main styles of bookbinding, each with their own beautiful results. One is our traditional Rustic style, recognizable for its hemp cord binding knotted at the front cover; these "paperback" books are sturdy with a homespun charm, and are faster to make and therefore more affordable. Our second bookbinding style is a Coptic binding, recognizable for its exposed book spines and the braided stitching across them; these "hardcover" books are bound with painstaking care, using a 2,000-year-old technique first developed by the Coptic Priests of Ancient Egypt, and result in a truly gorgeous codex which looks delicate (but is remarkably strong!) and is capable of opening completely flat. Whichever you choose, all of our books are labours of love -- and we would love to make one just for you!
