On the home page of her website Susan Green includes a quote from H W Beecher: “Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house”. I agree wholeheartedly. One wall of my living room is filled with books. They’re a bit of a mismatch – old Penguin paperbacks, contemporary fiction, poetry anthologies and old text books. But what better illustrates your tastes, your travels, who you were and who you are now?

Susan Green is a bookbinder. She creates beautiful hand bound journals, notebooks and artists’ sketchbooks. As well as being beautifully crafted, they are flexible and strong and designed to capture your ideas, thoughts, sketches and moods. Special requests and commissions are welcomed and Susan can advise you what works with each book style.

The Medieval Sketchbooks (shown top and immediately below) are particularly tempting, with butter-soft leather covers and hand-stitched papers.
