hen you read one of our books you will pick up a letter, a torn out newspaper article, or an old journal sheet, turn it over and handle it the same as if you had found it in your attic. We don’t feel bound by the traditions of bookmaking. We have learned from and honor those traditions but believe there is another way to experience a story.
ou may find an old photograph, a train ticket, a piece of soft fabric, a rose, or an old coin. You may find a scent that is part of the story. All of these factors, the papers, the artifacts, the scents, allow the reader to go completely into the story, forgetting that it is fiction. The three dimensional nature of the story enhances the reader’s experience of a new reality.
It is a matchless experience.
rom the inking to the folding to the stamping to the gluing, our books are hand made and made in the
United States.

t may be a book box, or a hatbox, or a jewelry chest, but each of our books is a keepsake you’ll want to share with others and display proudly in your home. It is simply one of the most incomparable conversation pieces that you may ever have.
ur first offering is Dearest. It is historical fiction that gives the reader a look into the post civil war world of the Ohio River Valley. Carefully researched and meticulously designed, Dearest recreates the intimate and personal world of a man and a woman living in the ever-changing industrial middle class of 1870’s Middle America. It is a richly drawn account of a tender and surprising relationship.

Currently we are preparing the manuscript of another book,
“All That It Brings,” based on an epistolary journal written in the late 1800’s by Frances Roe. We hope to have the release of this warm and personal journal by the late spring
of 2008.
