My name is Liz Adams, I am a bookbinder in Roanoke, VA. Frustrated with mass produced ready to use books that are poorly made, inferior in material quality, lackluster, and just plain boring, I decided to make my own!

I personally use the mini sketchbooks as my daily journaling go to...I love the convenient size and the 80lb/124gsm paper is perfect for pencil, charcoal, pastel, and pen and ink drawing.

Creating and binding books is a very old craft, each one is created with love and LOTS of time invested. You will see books in my portfolio that are “available” and those that are “sold.”

Handmade in very small quantities, I rarely make more than 1 or 2 of any book (now THAT is small batch.)

Imagine giving a truly unique, one of a kind, mini or large, personalized handcrafted book as a gift!

I am currently working on rounded and backed books, working to hone my skills with repetition and have been accepted, and will be attending leather working binding classes in July of 2025. I’m so excited!
