Base Prices
Size comparison
My pricing is based on page dimensions, and since that can obviously vary, I’ve listed my three standard journal sizes below, to give you a general idea. If you want a journal with different dimensions, or have a book you’d like rebound, please visit my contact page for a quote! All base prices include front cover and spine (foil) tooling; see add-ons below.
Mini (~1.5x1” pages): $200
Small (5.5x3.5” pages): $500
Standard (8.5x5.5” pages): $630
Large (11x8.5” pages): $800
Folio: (~18x12” pages): $1500
Standard size design binding flat rate: $1200 (typically represents a $200-300 discount). Flat rates available for other sizes as well; please contact for quote. Edge decoration and/or leather doublures would be additional.
Clamshell Boxes: a leather clamshell box made to fit a book similarly sized to the above starts at $50 less than the book price, with the same add-ons available. Base price includes a flat spine, marbled paper or faux suede lining the interior, and tooling on the front cover and spine. Add $75 for rounded spine. Please contact me for cloth-covered box prices.
Rebinding work is typically $50-125 additional, depending on the age of the book and the amount of repairs needed.
