Hand Bound Books; Printed or Blank

50


50 per unit - - Posted Jan 25, 2025

A recent hobby foray. I have learned how to stitch bind books. I can make hard or soft covers, in paper fabric or leather; sizes 8.5x5.5 inches (Imperial Letter Size folded once in half) or 6x4.5 inches (Imperial Letter Size cut in half and then folded once in half).

I can format and print any copy-paste-able body of text, including chapters, and chapter indexes, page numbers, prefaces or suffixes, et.c. - to be discussed. Printing at home costs me about about $10 per 100 pages. You can provide me with specific materials (in measurements to be provided during discussion) or pick from my collection of crafting supplies (purchased impulsively or left over from other projects).

I can use tea / coffee / water / brown gray or black paint, to accomplish aged aesthetics to pages and covers.

I am capable to a limited extent to produce and provide (royalty free) art for chapters and covers.

I recently learned how to make photo-slots in the cover.

Available Inclusions: clasps / hook locks, hand painted details, ornamental adhesions, bookmark ribbons,

Selling fanfiction of copyright protected works is illegal and I will not be doing that. However, I am willing to format print and bind fan fiction that you yourself (or a permissive friend) have written, for your personal collection purposes.

Selling products with copyright and trademark protected art / images is illegal and I will not be doing that. However, I am willing to incorporate images and aspects within reason.

Therefore, I cannot for legal reasons benefit financially from the sale of copyright and trademark protected ideas, art, images, characters, etc. For this reason, you may have to purchase the relevant supplies (some of which are in bulk and cannot be percentage-ified), in exchange for which I will gift the finished product to you with exclusive privilege (as in, I will never make copies of your work for me to gift to anyone else).

Commissioning me for resale is strictly prohibited and I will take any necessary legal action to protect myself.

Training & Qualifications


Printing and binding my own writing has proved an unexpected joy, and being commissioned for a blank journal recently inspired this ambition. My work is not perfect and not guaranteed, but its extremely customizable and relatively inexpensive, since it is an enjoyable hobby and pastime first, and my price (tangible or service) will consist mostly of the necessary supplies.

Availability & Preferences


Weekday afternoons.

Trading Preference: I prefer exchanging services
