3 out of 5 starsTo each it's own ... I did not feel that the quality was that great. It kind of looks and feels cheap and I won't be using it. The order was prompt and everything was great about shipping / timing of receipt.

Although I understand that not everyone will be happy with my books, I hope that future potential buyers reading this and placing an order will follow what is written on the thank you card I send with each order: Please contact me if you’re not happy with your order before leaving a poor review that will hurt my shop and my livelihood.

5 out of 5 starsWhere do I start? Sandra was superb!! She saw my wedding date and rushed the order without me even saying anything. The book itself is absolutely amazing. She packed it carefully so it does not get ruined in transit. I can't wait to show it off to my guests.

5 out of 5 starsSandra’s books are amazing! I was so surprised when I opened my package to see this glimmering book, perfect size, and very detailed. It’s obvious that she loves what she does by the craftsmanship of her books. Sandra is also very helpful and accommodating. She ensured I had my guestbook on time, that I ordered the right one, and was willing to accommodate me in any way she could. This is one of the best experiences I have had on Etsy!

What is coptic stitch binding?
Coptic binding or Coptic sewing is a method of bookbinding employed by early Christians in Egypt, the Copts, and used from as early as the 2nd century AD to the 11th century.
It requires no glue and allows the book to lay flat when open. Perfect for lefties (like me!). The nature of the binding makes a book that is not stiff, as opposed to a glued spine. That is especially due to the spine not being covered.
Can I use the guest book as a photo guest book?
Yes! I offer many different pages configuration options. All the details are in the item description! P.S.: I have more options that are not listed. For example, a page that accommodates a 4" x 6" photo landscape orientation with lines below the photo. If you can't find what you need, message me I might have it!
Do you offer lined pages option?
Yes! I offer lined pages with "Guests" header or without header. Refer to the item description for all the details on the different options. If you can't find the page design you're looking for, contact me I might have it!
Can I use a Super Fine Tip Sharpie?
Yes! I use card stock pages thick enough for the super fine Sharpies. Tested and approved! :)
What do you recommend to adhere photos?
There are a variety of acid free/photo safe accessories available. Photo corners, photo squares, adhesive photo sleeves, double sided tape rollers, washi tape.
I carry clear photo corners and photo squares. You will find them in the "Accessories & Upgrades" section of my shop.
How are the pages counted?
Each side of a sheet is a page. For example, if a book is listed with 64 pages, it will have 32 sheets with both sides being a page for a total of 64 pages :)
Plastic Photo Sleeves?
Unfortunately, the nature of the binding of my guest books doesn't allow for the use of plastic sleeves.
All my books are created with thick smooth card stock pages. Card stock page photos albums offer versatility in photo placement. It also allows you to be creative and customize your book to your liking and style. Paste your photo centered on the pages and enjoy the beautiful minimalist look of the large white border around your photo. Or, if you're the creative type: write on the pages, caption your photo, add stickers, paste mementos, etc. Oh the possibilities...
Please refer to the item details section for page design options specific to the book you're interested in.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Gift wrapping option is offered at check out for a small fee. Your item will come in white wrapping and metallic gold ribbon tied in a bow. Any gift note will be printed in black. The card features a print of a little stamp with hearts. You can see a sample photo of my wrapping at check out.
