Alex was amazing throughout the whole process from beginning to end. Not only is he a world class book binder, he is a world class person as well. He allowed me to collaborate with him and exchange ideas until we came up with the perfect book together. He guided me away from mistakes I would have made and steered the project in the perfect direction. He communicated with me everyday and sent me pics of the process the whole time, it was very exciting and I looked forward to it each mourning. The book came out amazing. I could not have asked for anything better, it exceeded my wildest expectations and it is worth every penny and more. It is rare to find someone with the skill, expertise and professionalism that Alex has.
At the end he even watched the tracking of the shipment and notified me every step of the way. I will be buying many more books from Alex and he will remain my life long bookbinder and friend. I very highly recommend Alex as your life long book binder as well.

“I got it today! Amazingly, it took only one week to get the package!

This journal is not what I expected… it greatly exceeded my expectations!!

The nicely embellished clasps, the wings, the dorsal spikes are all well designed and craftsmanship is immaculate. The chain gives me the feeling of Daenerys trying to use it to withhold the dragon and the glass eye seems so alive.

The aged papers look so ancient, and the end paper with the house sigil and motto really top it off.

I am particularly pleased with Alex’s step by step communication and he supplemented with lots of photos so that you knew what was going on.

Alex is obviously very talented with book design. He has a pair of magical hands and a very creative mind. The decoration on the book spine with dorsal spikes and wings was his sole idea!

Am I going to get more journals from Alex? You bet! Watch out this space for more Game of Thrones journals! I am ready when he is ready!”
