Visitors' Books

Wonderful moments live on in the words your guests and visitors note down in your book. Here you can find a couple of large sized books ideal for galleries, and also medium sized books for all of you who love inviting friends for a fine dinner. The covers of these books have been made from very special fabric, ie. silk-brocade and the like, or they have been individually printed directly from the block. 

If you prefer a smaller sized book for your guests, you can use the diaries, aphorism books and collectingbooks as well.

 

All books have been sewn with linen thread on a sewing frame by hand. Bookblock and cover have been handmade in my own studio.
