Hand-Bound Books for Sale was created by Mirwen Silverbow
Hello everyone! I know some of you heard through word of mouth about the books I make, and I thought I would put up a notice here for anyone who might be curious.

I hand-bind hardcover books in various sizes and can customize them virtually any way you'd like.
Because of the incredible amount of variables that comes along with this, I would prefer to quote prices on a case-to-case basis, but I will say that they start at $20 for a 2.5x3, hardcover book with 100 cardstock pages and a plain, solid-colored cover. Customization, depending on how extensive and how detailed, can usually add between $5 and $15 to the price, unless there is something wildly detailed and all-encompassiong about it. Extra pages (my standard being 100) will be $5/fifty pages.

Leave a comment or send me a message if you're interested. For reference, here are a few examples that I have already made and distributed to buyers.

For the Land Symbols, it would be $15 added onto the price for sizing. 2.5x5 pages would end up being $35, 3x5 pages $50, 4.25x5.5 pages $75. If you want paper that's a little heavier than your standard, multi-purpose, 20 lb (or 'computer') paper, that will add to the cost as well. Ribbon bookmarks as seen in two of the three books above would also be included for these prices. I assume you would want the books done in the land colors?

I need to wait for my finances to bounce back a bit before I can get one, but I am interested in a small one that fits in a pouch.

Ooo, another bookbinder! I thought I might have been the last person left who did that sort of thing :p Maybe we can work together on some larger projects sometime.

Amizar also binds books, and has always been in attendance. Most of my contributions to the library, including one of the two which were stolen, were bound by him.

I am totally willing to teach, and give access to my tools. Also, there's a wonderful forum at www.bookartsforum.com/forum/ with lots of tutorials and whatnot.
