Because every trim, every cut, every punch, and every press is done by hand, our process is a little more error-prone than a mass-produced book. Additionally, we hold ourselves and our products to a very high standard, so while we find little imperfections to be charming, outright flaws are definitely not.
In our shop, flaws come in a number of flavors, but the most common ones are:
- Pages that stick out a little above or below the rest of the book
- One or more of the cover pieces are either a shade too large or a shade too small
- Ink smudges or misprints on the covers
However, as you’ll notice, all of these flaws are purely cosmetic. The components themselves are perfectly usable and since you can add and remove pages and covers, the flawed components can even eventually be replaced.
