Leather Journals by Michael Graham

Keithville, Louisiana

Top shop for gifts.

Buyers bought gifts from this shop and gave them 5-star reviews!

Announcement    OK, now for a little bragging: These journals are handmade and TRULY bound. My journals are real books, no loose floppy Coptic stitching. NewSouthBooks made entry into the marketplace in 2012. As a professional illustrator, designer and printmaker of 40 years, you get all this visual expertise and old world craftsmanship in each and every journal. They are yet another extension for artisanship. Take a look at my website, stroll around and enjoy all this Deep South stuff. This work has received numerous prestigious grants and is represented in many, many corporate, private and public collections.

Please take a moment, read the vita. The same professionalism and ethic that brought my work to permanent collections in Louisiana State Museums and universities is represented in my handmade bound journals. Real books with real purpose from NewSouthBooks, true objets d’art.

In downtown Shreveport a brand new arts market is setting a new agenda. On Lake Street, the Agora Borealis has it all goin' on. Stop by, take a look. Buy a leather bound journal by NewSouthBooks.

It’s fun reading. Most posts are an interesting, historical or geographic profile of where a NSB journal is shipping. We have a virtual map with red pins (and assorted other info) of destinations, past & present. Some of those destinations are Hollywood. A big time HBO producer buys my journals for herself. And her friends. Pretty damn cool. Last summer a journal shipped to the international sailing yacht, ‘Eos’ while docked in New York Harbor. Research will reveal who the owner is.

Materials
Leather, fine art papers (115w, 120w, 135w or 250w), silver and copper, imported silk head bands. All sorts of cool stuff.

All journals are bound in leather. No canvas or wood or plastic and no Coptic stitching. Just the finest oil tanned or stone oiled hides binding the finest quality art papers. All pages are hand torn with deckle edges, folded into hand stitched signatures. Old world bookbinding methods are applied with linen and glue and each journal is finished with imported silk head bands.

NewSouthBooks is primarily in the business of making custom order journals. I'll make a journal to specification for you. Size, leather and color, number of pages. Lined pages? Just ask. Perhaps a collection set? How many? Engraving, personalized imagery, polished and distressed metals, specialized printing. All this is what custom journal making is all about. It's easy. Contact me, begin the dialogue and I'll make your journal.
