Books By Hand

Unusual gifts

If you are looking for that extra special gift, you need look no further; Books By Hand books are hand-crafted and every one is unique.

Natural materials

The books, made using good quality paper are bound with a variety of woods, ranging from driftwood cast up on the seashore to native British hardwoods.

Some just rely on the natural beauty of the wood's grain, others have ammonites from the cliffs around Staithes set into them or are inlaid with Whitby jet.

Beautiful, sensuous objects

The books are not only beautiful to look at but are also very tactile objects; once you have picked one up it is very hard to put down.

Whether they use them as diaries, address books, photograph albums or guest books, or write poems or sketch in them, people who have them cherish them.
