Reviews

A heart felt thank you to my customers who have got in touch to share their thoughts on their books.

Journals, Sketchbooks, Wedding Guest Books & Memory Books

“In receipt of the sketchbook - wow, it is beautiful, thank you!… I would not hesitate to recommend you personally or professionally.” Rose, Suffolk

"THE most beautiful journal I have ever had the privilege of owning....thank you so much for making it. It truly is a piece of art, and all the attention to detail, not to mention the extras and beautiful wrapping, I feel truly spoilt!" Ruby, Dorset

"Ordered a bespoke wedding planner for my fiancé, I couldn't recommend Bound By Hand enough. Perfect communication throughout, Susan was extremely helpful and managed to create the book with a short turnaround and it was delivered earlier than expected. Excellent product and service, we'll hopefully be in touch nearer to the wedding for more bespoke photo and guest books. Many thanks!" Tom, London

“Thank you very much again for another successful order. The whole experience gives the finished article such an individual feel of your care and attention to detail. It is stunning and the inscription looks good and how I'd imagined. It's a delight... I'm very much looking forward to presenting X with his journal.” Catherine, Norfolk

“When I finally lifted it out of the tissue paper and opened it up I cried. It is so beautiful... the feel of the leather, the title page, the heft of the pages. Mr. S touched so many lives… this beautiful book will speak volumes about the man that he was.” Allyson, VA USA

"This memory book is unbelievably beautiful! The quality and craftwork is exceptional and we are so delighted that this will hold what will be special memories of our wedding day. Also the service I have received from Susan has been both friendly and professional. I cannot recommend these books enough!" Laura, Leicestershire.

"Just to let you know that the book arrived today and we are thrilled with it! It’s a very attractive, quality product. Thank you so much for your excellent service." Kathy, Manchester.

"I was lucky enough to have a wedding book made by Susan Green. It is the most beautifully crafted and exquisite book that holds all my dearest memories. I have also given one bespoke book as a wedding gift to my PA, who was thrilled by it's elegance and practicality. Thank you, Susan." Tara, Dorset.

"I’m very pleased with your product. It is so well-crafted and I love the leather binding, it is marvelous!" Fransiscus, Suffolk

"Quality combined with superb personal service – now that is a rare combination but Bound By Hand exemplifies this. My daughter-in-law was so touched by her special, personal gift which was a joy to witness but then Susan was delightful to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience was easy from overseas and I would so recommend this company and their very unique gifts."  Clews, Muscat, Oman

"I knew the moment I looked through your shop that I was doomed. It invoked instant 'brain-drooling. I'm a writer... these are going to be investment pieces". Natalya, Wiltshire

"A beautiful journal. High quality, smells amazing and is perfect for storing a lifetime of memories. Susan was amazing and helped us select the right colour and got it to us for Christmas (in a week). Wonderful product, wonderful service. Thank you!" Neil, London

"It really is beautiful, I had a huge smile on my face when I opened it!  It's always difficult ordering online without actually seeing the finished goods but I'm so glad I did. The memory book is exactly as I imagined. Beautifully made with a wonderful feel and smell." Lee, Lancashire

"Bought this for my daughter, she loves it. Beautifully and professionally constructed - it's hard to find such good unique quality things like this." Nicola, Melbourne Australia

"I am passionate about writing and I like unique things... I wanted something special, something handmade. If you do something handmade, if you spend all that time on it, it feels special - the touch, the smell, everything! Google gave me 77,900,000 options but yours was the second one, with your picture, and that made me trust you. I called you, I asked what I wanted and you said it could be done."  Jose, London
