Email me at Sherry@StoneManorPress.com Pricing is very project specific. The choice of papers and number of colors for letterpress can take the budget from modest to outrageous. Book covering materials, binding style and size influecne the price. The amount of repair needed on a rebinding also determines the price. I would love to talk with you about your project and budget. |
Stone Manor Presscreates limited edition artist’s books, letterpress cards and invitations, and custom bindings. I have been creating unique cards for greater than 20 years and binding books since 1999. I use a Vandercook Universal One and a Chandler and Price Pilot letterpress with both handset lead type and photopolymer plates. I also incorporate digital photography, silk screen and hand painted backgrounds into the books and cards. |

What is an Artist's book?The definition of an artist’s book is a subject of much discussion in the book / art world. My definition of an artist’s book is one that combines both the content and the binding to communicate a single theme / concept. These can be created by one person or done as a collaboration with two or more artists. An artist book can communicate solely with words or images, or use some combination of the two. They can use a traditional book form or be hardly recognizable as a book. They may push the limits of “bookness” or be the ultimate in a fine book edition. I find both ends of the spectrum of artist books addictive to both the creator and the collector. |
