BABY BOOKS

Our Baby Books have 36 pages, illustrated with vintage silhouettes, covering a child's life from before birth to five. The paper used inside the book is Stonehenge 90 lb, acid-free drawing paper, and the color used inside the book coordinates with the cover paper; the cover papers come from all over the world, many being hand printed. We can easily modify the family pages for adoptions, even single-parent adoptions, or for same-sex parents. The books open flat and have tiny envelopes for a lock of hair and the first tooth lost, and a large 9 x 11 vellum envelope in the back for cards, drawings, extra photos, even a sonogram. The book's pages measure 9 by 11 inches; the whole book is 9.5 by 11.5 inches.
The cost of our baby books is $60 for books with machine printed cover paper (excepting Japanese prints), and $70 for hand printed and Japanese cover paper. The book shown above is covered in hand-printed paste paper from Italy and costs $70. The spine can also be made in light green or pink, and the paper comes in blue (see below).

Here are some of our other baby books, with prices and descriptions; the prints are shown approximately half size.

WEDDING JOURNALS
Our wedding journals have 22 pages in which to record everything about your wedding, from the first date to the first Home Sweet Home. The topics covered include the rehearsal dinner, gift registries, showers and parties, the ceremony itself, and all the people and vendors who helped make the day so special. There are pages for photographs, but it is not intended to be a photo album. The price of the book ranges from $45 to $70, depending on the paper or fabric the book's cover is made from.

The books are bound with ribbons tied through the pages and around the back of the book. Two are shown below with a sample page from the inside and a detail of the ribbon binding from a book with large ribbons. The size of the book is 7 inches by 9 inches.

See also our selection of guestbooks, which can be made to match any wedding journal or photo album as long as we have the paper.

Don't forget a GUESTBOOK for your wedding

We can make a guest book to match a wedding journal, either in the same 7 by 9 inch size, or a horizontal book measuring either 6 by 9 inches or a smaller sized 6 by 7 inches. Guestbooks can have any number of pages you like.

Any of our wedding journals can be converted into a 7 by 9 guest book since the page size is identical and the pages held in by ribbon.

Guesbooks can be lined or unlined and can say GUEST BOOK on the first page or have a blank first page or a custom-printed first page.

The price of a guest book depends on the materials and the number of pages and whether it is lined or unlined, but the range of prices is from $25 to $45. Our small photo albums, which have unlined pages, can also be used as guestbooks, although they are bound with more space to allow room for photographs. Click HERE to see our small ribbon-tied albums:

PHOTO ALBUMS
Our photo albums open flat. The pages are made with 90-lb. acid free Stonehenge drawing paper with the natural deckle edge at the front. The pages are sewn with spacers between them to allow for the expansion which will occur when photographs are added. Sizes and number of pages varies. We can make any size album up to 13 inches wide by 19 inches tall, but most of our popular size is 9 by 11 inches.

SMALL ALBUMS TIED WITH RIBBONS

These albums do not have sewn-in pages like our traditional albums do; the signatures (sets of pages) are tied onto the cover spine with ribbon. They can be used as guestbooks as well as photo albums, but they are designed to expand when photos are added to the pages. The middle photo below shows how the book is constructed.

Below are some of our ribbon albums. As long as we have the paper, we can make ribbon albums to match wedding journals, baby books, guestbooks or traditional sewn photo albums. Sizes vary between 6 by 7 inches to 8 by 8 inches.
