CASE STUDIES
Featured
I specialise in creating truly amazing books that are unique to you, designed to tell your story and only yours.
I work in close collaboration with the finest British craftsmen to expertly design and print your photographs in a Tailored Book exclusively made by Hurtwood. Every image is printed on Mohawk Superfine Paper—the finest printing paper made today—and great care is taken to bind and stitch each page, creating a truly unique and lasting book.
Your book is expertly designed by our designers and tailored precisely to your individual requirements. Each one offers a choice of cover finish, endpaper colours, and combination colors for head and tail bands—we pride ourselves on our meticulous attention to detail.
These finished books become treasured heirlooms for families, serving as a beautiful record of special occasions and their lives together. Corporate clients also value the high-quality finish as a reflection of their own business, often commissioning a book as an exceptional client gift or as part of a distinguished marketing campaign.
The perfect way to preserve memories and create provenance
Pages
Lay flat for seamless picture presentation.
Stitching
Sequences of pages sewn together.
Endpapers
Choice of colours for the endpapers – the sheet that attaches the first and last pages of text in a case bound book to its cover.
Head & Tail Bands
Choice of Head & Tail Bands – The ornamental decorative addition of a cloth piece at the top and bottom of a book, just inside the spine.
Archival Paper
Acid free mohawk super-fine paper with a life of over 100 years without discolouration.
The grain is the direction in which the majority of fibres lie in a sheet of paper. The grain of the paper must run parallel to the spine (this is the law!).
