Hand Made Books
Our most unique and prized creations, our hand made books are heirloom quality, one-of-a-kind treasures. Created using centuries-old techniques and supplies, these books last for generations. Reminiscent of the illuminated manuscripts of the 15th and 16th centuries, we create books to commemorate important events such as weddings and retirements, memorialize loved ones or honor major contributors. Each book is completely hand-lettered, decorated with gold leaf and hand painting, and hand bound (hard cover) with either leather, marbled paper or book cloth. Price upon request.
The book detail, above, is from a memorial book presented to family members of a deceased Trustee. The book below is from a wedding book, containing the complete marriage ceremony including vows, scripture, pronouncement of marriage, etc.
