    This looks lovely, and so useful.

    The handmade paper you are using is simply stunning. I will have to investigate sourcing it in the UK. Or I could try and make some myself……. I’ll have to scour Pintrest and YouTube for tutorials to see what is involved.

    I would love to buy a birthday book or two, particularly with a choice of covers and the signatures printed with the months & days.

    in your recent newsletter you asked if this would be an interesting kit to assemble the book–I vote YES.

    I agree, definitely YES make it into a kit. Think it would do really well. Thanks for showing! I’m saving it to a list of things to try.

    I still have a commercially made one of these that my mother gave me way back in the 1970’s. It is a most useful thing for tracking birthdays . . and anniversaries too. I not only write in the person’s name but the year they were born (or were wed) as babies come into my world – will always know how old they are! Your books are lovely. I’d not thought one could use board covers but not board in the spine – a revelation! The ribbon marker is a nice touch.

    What a great idea! I would like to try it. And yes, I’d be interested in a kit.
    May I ask where you got the stunning paper with the fall leaves in it?

    This is a wonderful idea for a handmade book. I don’t know if it’s still available but I’d love to see a tutorial or buy a kit!

    I hope you are still reading comments… I’m trying to recreate a book like this, pre-printed, as an artist’s book, and I wanted to ask what material you used on the cover, in the picture above, it’s the white… paper? tape? that is over the cover fabric on the inside of the spine. Thank you for any guidance!

    Hi Chelsea – The material on the cover is book cloth and a handmade paper. The white strip on the inside is Tyvek.
