My books are 100% handcrafted from start to finish in my workshop in Portland, Oregon. My selection of books are classics which are no longer subject to copyright law. Making hand-bound books is a very labor intensive and patient process. See Making Books by Hand for the step-by-step process. Each step requires specialized skill, attention, and experience. This level of customization is not offered by the inexpensive, mass-produced companies. Most commercially available “handmade” books are actually created by machine with only the cover portion customized.
