You Simply Must Get One Of These!! [Tarot Journal, Grimoire etc]

right, the price is a horror. But sometimes you simply do not bargain...

LOL

...and sometimes one must recognise skill over exuberant prices

I have to get me one of these!

Another 'me too!' & 'thanks for the links' style post...oh well

Mystique, you are a baaaaaad person! I just spent $90 on a gorgeous leather bound journal from Italy & now I'm going to have to write in it faster so I can justify buying one of these little beauties!
Thanks for the info and I loved your book!
p.s. You're not really bad, I'm just covetous and poor! ;-)

Jase's Books are amazing

I know I'm a bit late to all this, but I've just checked out Jase's Books and they are simply the most beautiful diaries / grimoires / book of shadows / tarot journals I've seen anywhere. As far as I can tell they're all hand made on request so you can have whatever size or design you want - have to get over my shyness and e-mail the guy!

From what I can see online, these books are beautifully made and a credit to their maker. I used to teach Art and did a little bookmaking/binding but certainly nothing to compare with these. I can honestly say that for the work, materials, time, expertise, tools, imagination etc that has gone into the creation of each one they seem to be pretty cheap even at $100 or so!

If you fancy trying your hand at making your own book, there is quite a lot of information on the net, you don't really need a lot of specialist tools (ie, you can make do with a couple of bricks instead of a book press).

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/book/ this site gives some good information, simply use plain or ruled paper instead of photocopies or prints.
