Hello! The Book has arrived safely! It is perfect and I'm very impressed. It is not a gift
exactly, it's for me and to some extent for my family. My husband Bryce and I are Canadian
soldiers and he was killed on our last mission in Afghanistan.
This book will be my memory book for him. Thank-you so much. Take care and Best Wishes.

The book got here and we are immensely pleased. Both from the
aesthetic and the technique (I'm a mediaevalist and specialize in manuscripts and

oh the talent you are blessed with! it is stunning. absolutely perfect.
what a gift you have given me. i love the weight of the box and how snug the
book fits inside it. everything about the book is wonderful. i love the smell
of the paper and the soft torn edges. you were so very thoughtful with each page.
it is gorgeous, alex. i cant begin to thank you enough.
i cant believe its finished! beautiful! i don't know what else to say. you
have put so much time and energy into this project. i thought about it
yesterday and realized that nothing was said about you in the note from the
editor, since you are the true editor. for that i am truly sorry. thank you

Dear Alex,
The book arrived today!They are absolutely beautiful! So much more lovely and inspired
than I imagined…thank you so much for doing this work!
Amazing to feel the combination of the soulfulness and heartfelt connection in the letters,
and the soulfulness and heart in the binding…I love the fact that you can still smell the glue,
and I loved your description at the end of Transient Book and the number of copies…the paper,
the font, the pictures, the way that the letters lay on the pages, the lack of page numbers…
they are just so beautiful!
Much warmth to you, Jan

I received the book two days ago (arrived very fast if, I might add), and I love it! It's even better than I expected! I just wanted to say that it was great working with you and that I appreciate so much what an awesome job you did. The recipient of the book was overjoyed when he saw it, and I know he'll treasure it for a long time. I have already referred your name to many people, and I hope to come back again for who knows what else.
Thank you so much again, and I wish you a very happy holidays!

The book is just beautiful! I think our father will cry when he sees it. I am truly impressed. Don't worry about the different illustration on the cover- it looks great! That's fine about the ribbon, too- we trust your judgment.
Now I'm even more excited to see it in person! I just can't believe that a story my father told me 30 years ago turned into such a beautiful book. We really appreciate all your time and effort. Thanks for everything!:)

Yes, thank you, the books arrived safely! They are exactly what I hoped
they would be and then some. I love the paper you used for the inside,
just beautiful. The craftsmanship is excelent. They were also packed with
extra care. Really, you did an outstanding job, I just hope my artwork
will add something and not detract. I will absolutely send a photo of the
finished product. Thank you again for all your help getting to the finished product. The
books are just lovely.

Alex / Magu,
I got them yesterday. They are absolutely gorgeous! The hand-torn edges added a distintive style to the journals. That butterscotch journal with the inlaid lable is definitely my favorite. My leather cover is another breathtaking creation. I am glad that we did it that way. That leather cover with your journal are just perfect match. The problem is that I do not want to use them for fear of destroying their beauty.
Now I need to plan for another journal.
Thanks

Alex!!
The book is BEAUTIFUL and BETTER than what we had envisioned or hoped for.
You are truly a master in your craft. I'm at my mother's now and she is so
very very happy. The pictures gave her goosbumps. I cannot thank you enough
for the wonderful job you did. You are incredible. Please let's not lose
touch!....
My mom received your book on Wednesday, as promised, (but didn't want to
open it until I was with her). So we opened it last night and it is
beauuuutiful! We were both thrilled. Thank you so much for pulling
this off on such short notice and in spite of the modifications we ran into
along the way. I continue to be impressed with your work and look forward to
working with you again. Jan is back in the US and will be here in Virginia
on Sunday morning. I think she will also be quite pleased.
Again, thanks for making this book so special.

Alex:
The book has been received. Late last night I presented it to my family, who proceeded to read it non-stop until 2AM. She was touched to say the least, and amazed at the quality of the work you provided. It was clear to me that this most cherished record needed to be put in a format appropriate for passage to my daughter and generations to come, and that it would take a craftsperson deeply engaged in the process to give it the attention it deserved. Your guidance from the start through all of the decision making behind the process of custom binding was patient and wise, and the result was more than I could have ever hoped.
Thanks again to you and your husband for the amazing work, and for allowing me this amazing process of creating a first book. It was an inspiring process that provided not only a family heirloom for future generations but a new passion foir the craft of bookmaking as well. It will be cherished by us always.
Yours,
Tommy

one.. but this is far and beyond all expectations. I am absolutley
stunned. (I still cant belive you refunded partial shipping)

I agree, there is something strange and amazing about arranging for a book with someone in Argentina. Thanks to modern technology, it is just as easy (actually easier) to work with you than to drive 3 hours down to Denver to shop around. It would have cost me $50 in gas just to get down there, not to mention the headache of big city driving.

Hello Alex,
Many thanks for the photos. The clam boxes look really good and the colour schemes have worked out very well. The text on the front cover and side also look perfect.
The photo of the box being made is also interesting. As a society we purchase so many pressed and plastic items these days that its good to know there are real skills still out there.
Kind regards,

I got back late last nite and so arrived at the shop today not fully
awake. What a treat to see the package waiting for me and then to
open it. WOW. I am not sure I will be able to put anything in them
they are so beautiful. Both books are good looking, but the Japanese
stab binding is absolutly dreamy. We like the flat binding and it
looks very nice but the stab binding has a more artistic look to it.
Again, Both books are very beautiful and I plan to order more then
just this order. Very, very exciting.. I am now very excited about
doing more books because these look so good.

Thanks so much for the picture. It looks just as I imagined it would!
I am looking forward to seeing it for myself and presenting it to
the author of this tale. He will be so surprised!
Thanks again,

Hi, Alex:
The box has arrived. It is BEAUTIFUL! The color is darker than in
the photos, which is great. I've already placed the manuscript inside
and found the perfect spot on the shelf for it. You have done such
a fine job. I have no doubt that this will be a true family keepsake
for many years. Thank you. Have the happiest of Holidays!
Cheers,

Dear Alex,
We received the book over the weekend. It looks fantastic. Nettie
really likes it (early Christmas present). Thanks again for creating
such a beautiful book and case--truly unique.

Dear Alex:
We received our journals today and they are so beautiful! Each one
is unique, and we are so impressed with the quality of the leather,
the brand and the binding. Actually, we are thrilled about everything.
What a joy to have these precious journals to offer as gifts and to
sell to our guests. Again, thank you.
With all good wishes,

alex - you have fulfilled
my every vision of the journal i had pictured. i am actually amazed
and impressed at the beauty of the book. i'm sure that as soon as
i hold it in my hands, i will be without words. i am a journal fanatic,
i have written in a journal since i was seven years old, i don't know
why, or have a reason, i just know that if i didn't write in one,
my thoughts would surely combust. i admire you for your craft and
skill of book making (although i'm not sure that is the proper term).
i am so happy i found you on the internet to make this book i only
thought existed in my head into a reality. thank you so much. sincerely,

The journal is great,
and I gave my son color copies of your "about us" pages from your
website so that his girlfriend can see how special it is. Her mother
teaches art at a local school, and I am sure they will be interested
in your story.
I know this was a lot of extra trouble, and it is appreciated. You
have helped make this transition a little easier, and I thank you.
Best Wishes,

absolutely manificent, I mean absolutely!!! And it is a big surprise!
I didn't think I would get it so soon. A million thanks to you and
Magu. The stone on the cover looks stunning and appealing. I can defintiely
keep my things tidy from now on. Now I need to get my hands on it
to be super happy.
Make sure you thank Magu for me.

Dear Alex:
Please forgive. I thought I had written you back to let you know how
Brian loved his journal cover. I didn't want to forget how to write
you and tell you that he was so very excited when he opened it. His
eyes lit up so big as he got tongue-tied mixing his words of Oh Honey
Thank You with awes. He's been working with it/admiring it/bragging
about it ever since. He started transferring his work into it and
has now finally got it to the point where he doesn't need his other
notebooks. He's working exclusively out of that one now. He told me
when he opened it that I touched him so deeply by having this made
for him. That it told him how much I believed in his writing and that
really touched his heart! Alex, without you it could have never been!
I gave him the little tokens you sent and he has them in one of the
pockets. He thinks its the absolute coolest that I had all of this
arranged with you. Honestly, every time he talks to someone he brings
it up. He was just bragging to his father about it just yesterday.
I can't thank you enough. I am so grateful! Bless YOU! Please take
care! We may just be visiting again for my birthday!!!!!
Until then, Blessings Be! In Light

Hi Alex,
I truly appreciate all the work and enthusiasm that you have put into
this project. When I reflect on the possible difficulties I could
have had in having these books bound my mind reels. You have always
been patient, thoughtful, straightforward, and helpful. Your fast
responses were valuable, especially as they always contained clear
intelligible questions that made the next step straightforward. I
had never anticipated that I might have books bound in this manner
but I have been so impressed that I may make my weary brain cells
write some more!
Many Thanks and Best Wishes,

Hi Alex,
It is gorgeous! I can't wait to start using it. I also wanted to tell
you that the little insert for straight line writing is pretty cool.
I had one a long time ago, but it was destroyed from overuse and I
never really thought to look for one.
I'm sure I'll be calling on you again for more books. I can think
of so many people to give these to as gifts!!
Have a great weekend,
Heather

It has been a matchless experience working with you. They were all
that I expected, and more.
