At Lake Michigan Book Press, it's about quality over quantity. ‘Handmade’ is not just a buzzword in this studio - I love binding sketchbooks. Meticulous precision is given to every detail, from the cover down to the components you can’t see.

Underneath every book cover is a board that has been carefully cut; the edges and corners sanded until smooth. Each sheet of paper is trimmed and inspected before being individually folded then nested together. These elements are sewn together using one continuous length of Irish linen thread, insuring the binding will always remain tight with pages intact, yet flexible enough to lay flat.

When you buy handmade, you're supporting fellow creators.
