If you love the feel and smell of well-worn old leather books, you'll love the one-of-a-kind offerings from GILD Bookbinders. This family company makes journals, books and other bound products with vegetable-tanned leather covers, soft acid-free paper and leather stitches. The GILD Bookbinders journals remind me of the books I imagine old philosophers, royalty and illuminati used to tote around underneath their arms.
Check out some of my favorite books from the GILD Bookbinders store above, and keep clicking for more novel book designs.
