Blank books for journaling and milestone albums are a large part of my work as a book artist. Some might say these projects are easier because the interior pages are left empty, but I mostly disagree. Yes, the interior pages once decided upon require less work but most of these books are gifts or commissions and require a high level of detail work on the outside. Therefore I take great care in choosing each book’s binding method, thread, cover paper, and personalization to ensure an awesome first impression.
