Sample books are not scaled to size. The typical book dimensions are either 5x5" or 9x8.5" and are laminated and coil bound, making them durable and lasting. Each book is handcrafted from start to finish.

Remember...YOUR book(s) can be about anything you choose!

While our books are created as learning tools, due to their durability, they double as keepsakes. We spend between 6 and 8 hours creating a Basic or Intermediate book. The Advanced books take between 10 and 12 hours to create.

Please note: books can be ordered in ANY langauge!
