There's about two weeks left on this BOOKFORGE poll! I need help deciding on a design binding concept, and I want your opinion. Yes, I'm asking you to judge a book by its (future) cover!

“When we bound these books … as soon as someone cracks the spine, a book develops a character all its own.” – Pip Williams
Every binding we craft at BOOKFORGE holds that moment of ‘first open’ — where the book becomes alive.

In a digital world, permanence is radical. Books hold more than text; they hold presence.
In 2025, binding by hand is a quiet revolution.
