About Angela
I have always had a love of books and am a collector of antique and vintage books, these are often in need of repair, some minor and some needing complete restoration, it was this that led me to the wonderful world of the bookbinder. The discovery of the different types of stitches such as Coptic, French Link and Chain Stitch; the plethora of papers used, many originating from Japan, not just for their exquisite design but for the durability in paper that is gossamer thin and the history of this ancient art, meant that as a graduate of history, I just had to learn this art form.
