site: https://fineblankbooks.com/ Custom hardcover binding - self-published - limited edition - custom rebinding (in a new cover) - fan fiction - heirlooms to order! In spite of the name, more than blank books. #fanfic #fanfiction
January 2026 - I am keeping this account for now as a gallery, but have made the decision to stop taking commission requests from new customers. Past customers and friends, please contact me with requests. This is a time issue.
A few in-progress photos and one of the original set. This project took dozens of hours over several months.
Recently completed. A commissioned rebinding of The Essential Supernatural coffee table book. And a few in-progress photos. Hand-cut layers of tag board, glue-stiffened string, and book leather over a binder’s board base. One of the sets from the show. Silver “calipers” soldered and oxidized black.
You are now!

I guess the advent calendar ended yesterday, but one more. Made it for myself. A measuring mistake resulted in the sign extending past the top. Very challenging. Never again. Also, one of my favorites ever. More photos in comments. Happy Holidays! 25 December 2024 #artadventcalendar
