Letterpress Script Handbound Book

A small blank book, 5.125 by 5.675 inches, made by hand in our shop. The cover is letterpress printed in black with flowing handwritten script, the lines taken from Helena's speech in Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well: "Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie." Each book is folded and hand-stitched at the spine with cream thread, holding 18 blank pages of soft 100% cotton paper, and arrives tied with an olive green cotton ribbon bow, ready to give.

Letterpress is a traditional printing method in which the design is pressed into the paper on an antique press, leaving an impression you can see and feel. The blank pages are ready for notes, lists, sketches, quotes, or a few lines of writing each day, and the size slips easily into a bag or desk drawer. It makes a thoughtful small gift for clients, colleagues, and anyone who still likes to write by hand. Moontree Letterpress is an independent print shop in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, printing on antique Chandler & Price presses for more than 20 years.
