Pendragon's Binding

BUILD A BOOK

Hand Sewn Books for any occasion!

Journals:

"I use mine to record my Martial Arts journey. It's awesome to look back as a Black Belt and have all the little notations that made it happen. I use it as my teaching tool now."

Projects:

We offer Manuscript Binding! "I'm a writer. I would want one. Whether it's a manuscript I never intend to publish or that really special copy bound like no other, I want it on my shelf! Seeing it there keeps me motivated during the harder times in writing."

As is the nature of Hand Sewn books,

No two books are the same--making yours all that more unique!

*upgrade: Old Style Binding
$ 2.00 USD This upgrade can be added to any of our standard Journal or Text project books. This is the original way of hand sewn binding. The paper signatures are sewn onto ropes and then rounded across the spine. Usually 3 or 4 binds, pending on the size of the book. The ropes are used to hold the board-covers together, creating the hinges seen beneath the material. Every book will differ. Leather textures and color vary pending on batch received. We will make the best match to compliment your cover choice. Preferences can be made via email. Most common: black and dark brown. (pictured with dark brown) charge is to help cover the cost of additional time and materials it takes to make this style. See Bling Page for additional spine options. Note: You will need to select a Cover from the Covers Gallery (upgrade includes any Standard or LE paper choice. pic with a 'build your own' photo submission: see Covers Gallery for details)

Make it a Scrapbook!
No Image Available $ 2.00 USD This option changes your journal selection and makes it a scrapbook-style book instead. By doing this, there will be changes to your pages. The standard 320 pages will still be represented, but every other page will only be a small tab in the back. This means that your spine will be the normal thickness, but the other end of the book will be half the size. Like a wedge. This way, when you add pictures and other bits of paper, it will fill out to a flat position, rather than over bulging. :) So, you'll have approx 160-200 pages and room for more. (picture coming)

Shipping/Handling (1-2 books)
$ 5.00 USD We estimate minimum $5 of shipping/handling for up to 1-2 books (according to the Post Office). Up to 3 for the Minis. This includes anywhere in the United States of America (mainland). If you know you need shipping, please add it to your cart now (easiest method). For orders of 3 books or more, we'll send you a quote for Shipping/Handling after we receive your order to be paid separate via Paypal. Costs are based per weight of completed project or whatever the post office lady tells me. :) Shipping will need to be paid before we can send your book to you.
