Candlemark & Gleam is pleased to offer handbound editions of many of our titles.
These books are all created on a one-off basis; each is made only when it is ordered.
Every title has a handbound edition designed exclusively for that book, to fit with the book’s theme and unique style. Some of these editions may be very traditional, using age-old methods of construction like the exposed Coptic binding. Others may be very modern, integrating classical techniques with modern materials and aesthetics. Each is tailored to suit the book, and each is a work of art – a piece of substance and style in an era of throwaway content-wrappers.
While the styles and methods of construction vary with each book, the quality will always be the same: All Candlemark & Gleam handbound editions are made using high-quality archival materials, designed to last through many, many years of reading enjoyment. There may be some variations between books in a handbound series – this is to be expected, as each book is made individually. Think of it as the book artist’s signature shining through, and a little piece of reality injected into an increasingly digital world.
We hope you enjoy these throwbacks to the era of exclusive bindings as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them.
