Books

Lasting and tangible, our hand bound books are a permanent archive for your family history or personal memoir. Rooted in the spoken word or compiled entirely from secondary sources, your book may incorporate genealogical research, photography, illustration, documented facts, or stories and folklore handed down from earlier generations. These elements may be woven into a narrative of any length and published in limited editions of as few as five copies.

Printed and bound using a combination of antique letterpress, traditional binding methods, and current digital processes, our books are hand forged by skilled bookbinding artisans. Each book is crafted from the highest quality archival-safe materials with a customizable design that lets you select from a choice of cover materials, typeface & layout pairs, decorative end papers, and binding styles. Unlimited illustration plates give you freedom to include as many scanned photos or documents as you like, or even create an entire book of photos and ephemera. Custom-cast designs may be commissioned to fit individual needs not met by our ready made designs.

Handsome and durable, a Story Foundry book is a truly unique and meaningful gift, meant to last for generations. Perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, births, graduations, or as an occasion unto itself. Samples and packages available soon. Please contact us for a consultation.
