Choosing a cover type
Adjustable covers have a fixed height and adjustable width — one cover fits many books of the same height, and moves from book to book as you read.
Fitted covers are tailored to one specific book for a permanent, exact fit (ideal for keepsakes and Bibles).
Traveler covers hold multiple skinny notebook refills on an elastic system. This design is shown as Adjustable; you can switch types when customizing.
Sizing & fit
For adjustable covers, measure your book’s height (spine) and match it to the nearest size — the height must match while the width adjusts to accommodate different page counts. A 9.5" book fits the 9.5" cover, across a wide range of thicknesses.
Fitted and Traveler's covers instead require height, width, and spine thickness to the closest 1/8".
Care instructions
Wood: apply a light coat of food-safe cutting board oil as needed; keep oil off the leather.
Genuine leather: condition periodically with the included balm. Store flat in the suede bag, away from rapid temperature changes.
Returns & exchanges
Because each cover is custom-made, we’re unable to accept returns or exchanges — but your satisfaction matters. If anything’s wrong with your order, contact us and we’ll make it right.
Where it's made
Handcrafted by our small family studio in Prescott, Arizona, using leather and hardwoods sourced from family-owned U.S. suppliers.
Made to order
Crafted by hand, start to finish.
Your cover doesn't exist until you order it. Here's the care that goes into every one.
Step 01
Design & file prep
We adapt the template to your size and lay out your personalization for clean, balanced engraving.
Step 02
Wood engraving
Your wood is pulled from climate-controlled storage, then engraved and cut individually.
Step 03
Sand, seal & rest
A timed multi-stage sanding and sealing process, pressed overnight for a smooth, lasting surface.
Step 04
Leather work
Premium hides are engraved, cleaned, then conditioned and balmed to restore softness and depth.
Step 05
Hardware & assembly
Hardware is prepared and the cover is hand-stitched, adhered to the wood, and riveted together.
Step 06
Inspect & pack
Every piece is inspected for quality and feel, then packed in our in-house suede bag.
Good to know
Questions, answered
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your book’s height (the spine) and pick the matching size band, or choose Precision Fit for an exact height. The width adjusts on its own to fit books from roughly 200 to 900+ pages.
How long until it ships?
Because every cover is made to order, production typically takes about 2–3 weeks before your order ships. Each one is crafted individually by hand.
Can I personalize it?
Yes — add a name or short phrase engraved on the inside flap. Turn personalization on in the configurator to preview it.
Will the wood and leather match the photos exactly?
Each cover is made from natural materials, so variations in wood grain, leather texture, and tone are normal — and part of what makes every piece one of a kind.
How do I care for it?
Lightly oil the wood with food-safe cutting board oil as needed, and condition the leather periodically with the included balm. Store it flat in the suede bag when not in use.
