Edition of one

Tell me about the book.

The blank certificate beside you is the one that would go inside your cover. What you write below is what gets set into it.

01 Whose book is it?

These two names are printed on the certificate. They are not made public unless you tick the box below.

Commissioned byMade forShow these names to anyone who types the certificate number into our register. Leave this unticked and the register will only confirm that the copy is genuine. It never shows what was paid, either way.

02 The book itself

Nothing here is fixed today. Tell me what you picture and I will tell you honestly what it costs and what it does to the timeline — before anything is charged.

03 The marks on the cover

Initials, pressed into the coverDown the spineOne line of yours, set on its own page

04 The inside of the cover

A pattern printed inside the front cover and the page facing it, drawn for your book alone. You do not pick it from a list — tell me what it should be about and I will draw it, then send you a proof before anything prints.

What should it be about?A dedication, on the page before the chat begins

05 Where it goes

Posted from Durban, South Africa. I will confirm the postage cost to your country in writing before you pay anything — it is not added on afterwards.

06 Anything else

Something you want that I have not asked about, a date it has to arrive by, a photograph that matters more than the rest. Say it here in your own words.

In your own words

This does not order anything and takes no money. It opens a commission and gives you a reference you can check any time. You can change your mind at any point before you approve the proof, and your deposit comes back in full.
