Custom Order Leather Art Journal Planner Elegant Personal Diary (530)

Having carte blanche from your client is what most artisans strive for and this truly bound handmade book stands as representative of the quality bookmaking found at NewSouthBooks.

No loose floppy stitching, no Coptic stitched books. Bound as in old world binding. This is what I do at NewSouthBooks. So decide on your specs. Carefully choose a color and type of hide.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
As sole proprietor at Studio of Visual Arts, I have been a professional illustrator and printmaker for 35 years. My illustrative work is represented in five Louisiana State Museums, countless corporate collections and has received numerous prestigious grants. NewSouthBooks was born as a natural extension of that same artisanship. I am now producing and marketing handmade, leather bound journals of quality and distinction, each journal a unique presentation with original artwork as adornment. All leather, new or old, is hand-cut and trimmed. I use only the highest quality fine art/printmaking paper (250w), hand stitching each signature. My leather journals are truly bound books using traditional book binding materials. Adding to the distinction is the incorporation of original artwork to inside covers and often, the middle signature. On this site, you'll see many examples of work previously completed for clientele. Just find me and we can discuss making one to suit your individual needs and taste
