Welcome to my blank book website!

To order one of my books, e-mail me at tedra@fineblankbooks.com.



I truly enjoy collaborating with you, my customers, to create the book you are imagining.  Please e-mail me at tedra@fineblankbooks.com to start working on your custom order.  (Also, click on the link above to my Information page to read more under the headings “custom orders” and “how custom orders work”.)

Blank books can be used as journals, guest books (for weddings or other events such as retirement and anniversary parties), sketch books, travel journals, or as a place to record family recipes and/or family stories....really the sky is the limit.  Some people even continue the old Victorian-era custom of having a guest book for their house where guests write an entry whenever they come to the house for a dinner party or other event.

Every book on this site has been made by me, by hand.  What you are paying for when buying a book like this is the time and care involved in the design and assembly.  The more complicated the construction, the more expensive the book.  These are REAL books that are made to last.

 

Please look around for as long as you like and thanks for visiting my blank book website!

My name is Tedra Ashley-Wannemuehler and I am a professional bookbinder.  By that I mean that I do bookbinding as a full time job, 5 days a week (sometimes more!).  It is my profession, NOT a hobby.  You can learn more about the small bindery where I work at the website www.lincolnbindery.com

When I have extra time, I enjoy making blank books completely by hand.  I originally set up this site to act as an outlet for selling the blank books I had already made after I decided to stop selling my books at summer arts festivals where the unpredictable weather (and sometimes unpredictable festival-goers) were not the best environment for my books.

Over time, I have realized that what I enjoy most is making custom books.  Currently, about 98% of the work I receive from this site consists of order for one-of-a-kind custom journals, albums, guest books, and boxes for books.
I still have a very small number of already-finished blank books and photo albums for sale.  Please click on the link near the top of this page to see everything that I currently have available for purchase.
