Handmade Notebooks with Scientific Illustrations

So depending on how often you glance at the left sidebar of my blog, you may or may not know that in addition to bookbinding, I am also a wedding invitation and stationery designer. Concertina Press specializes in unusual wedding invitations featuring antique scientific illustrations collected (in scanned form, not paper form!) from my time spent working at a scientific library just after college.

Not all of these illustrations make it onto wedding invites (although I do have pufferfish thank you notes) , so I’ve begun creating little notebooks to feature some of my favorite illustrations – click any of the pictures below (or above) if you’re interested in buying one – they’re for sale in my Etsy shop.
