Field notes
The process guide lays out four steps—fold, sew, press, case—and says the text block is pressed overnight. The editions record includes work still in progress, such as a blank book with its boards cut but awaiting cloth, alongside completed and returned jobs. The page provides a phone number and email address for contact; the extract shows no prices or online ordering.
