Why us

Why people choose the more expensive book.

A factory book is cheaper and arrives sooner. This is why some people still choose one sewn by hand.

Two kinds of leather with different textures and colours side by side

The difference

Sewn versus glued

A factory book's spine is glued. The glue hardens, then cracks, and pages begin to come away — usually just when the book is full and has become worth something.

Waxed thread sewn through the folds of the paper does not have that problem. The book opens flat on the table, and it can still be resewn decades from now if it needs to be.

What you get

Four things not on a shop shelf

Any size

Not only A5 and A6. If the size is an odd one, that is the interesting part.

Paper of your choosing

Ruled, plain, dotted, grid, or printed pages to suit what you need.

Your name

Embossed into the leather, not a sticker that peels off a year later.

It can be resewn

If it breaks, bring it back here. We made it, so we are the ones who can repair it.

Warranty

Twelve months, in writing

Faulty stitching, loose pages, a binder that will not behave — we repair it at no charge, and we cover the return shipping.

Still weighing it up?

Just ask. We will tell you plainly if what you need is really better served by an ordinary book.
