Please Note

All Paperback books are printed and hand bound by me in our home. They are printed on standard printer paper using 120# card stock for the cover.

Im a bit new to book binding. So the finish may not be perfect. But I will do my very best to make you a fine product. As time goes on and Im able to afford a printer big enough to print full covers the books will become much nicer finish wise.
