Book ’Em

Bridget Bullen Book Binder

Memories, misty water-colored memories. Stuffed into ugly scrapbooks bought at Costco.

For a real keepsake, take your poems, panegyrics, and pictures of your nieces and dogs and preserve them in Bridget Bullen’s hand-bound journals and albums.

Each high-quality book is customizable: Gold stamp your name on a red journal or get a Japanese-bound photo album for your snapshots.

Bullen, who’s been binding books for eighteen years, uses archival paper made from 100 percent post-consumer waste manufactured in a low-emissions plant. Her specialty papers come from fair trade-certified companies in India, Nepal, and Tibet that pay their workers fair wages.

In other words, she ensures that everyone who comes into contact with your future heirloom is well fed and cared for. 

It’s enough to make you sentimental.
