All my books are handmade by me and as such will have the look and feel of a hand-crafted item and will not have the high mechanical finish of a machine-made object. There may well be small imperfections which add to the charm of the book.
However, I do try to make the books carefully so they are as beautiful as possible.
Some of my styles are more rustic than others.
