A sampling of custom-ordered work performed at Books 'n Letters Studio.

This pop-up book was custom-designed in red bookcloth and green leather to house a miniature book which pops up when the case is opened.
A leather-covered clamshell housed an accordian-fold book with hand-lettering and a ribbon to pull the book open. This was a commemorative gift and the recipient's name was gold stamped on the spine of the clamshell.

Letterpress-printed text block bound in red leather using "Sewn Boards Binding" structure. Opening on front cover features a slice of moose horn from Alaska. The clamshell has covering of red bookcloth and lining of marbled paper.
A scrapbook was created to commemorate a client's special occasion using silver paper, blue linen fabric, and white ribbon. The structure enables the owner to place items on the pages without causing a swell.
The 1960s. This book's new blue leather cover includes leather onlays while the yellow clamshell is titled across the spine for easy identification when placed on the bookshelf.
This newly restored leather book rests inside a clamshell lined with suede, made for the client.
A "starbook" can become a decoration when fully opened.

The leather covered box with inlays can be used for keepsakes.
