Timeline
Design will take up to 2 months after your timeslot begins. Once we have finalized the design and decided on materials, a prototype can be ready in 3 weeks. For the rewards, I can build 3 books a month and up to 10 per campaign. There is no minimum for a project.
Printing
I can print books on 80 lb text weight paper if you provide a typeset. This will result in a book that is about 6"x 9".
In some cases I can break down an already bound book, please get in touch if you are considering this option.
Please browse around on the journal section of my website to get an idea of what I can do. I am also able to do higher end bindings like those in the Fine Binding section but the cost is considerably more as these use materials like gold leaf and more time-consuming techniques.
To discuss a project, please contact Holly at: blackoakbindery@gmail.com.
