Bookbinders Workshop Update::
Wow, what a GREAT Summer and Fall its been at Bookbinders Workshop!
Sorry its been so long since the last post. This Summer & Fall have been absolutely wonderful for BBWS and for our official kick-off here on Long Island, NY. There are so many things to update you on. First, Tim Yancey and myself have co-authored a new (large!) pictorial history book: The Lost Gutenbergs, The Discovery of 128 Unbound Original Cooper Square Gutenberg Bibles. The book gives a great historical overview of this rare, first American Facsimile of the Gutenberg Bible, complete with over 80 full color photo's. The book is a hard [flat] back with full color case, and beautiful full color wrap dust jacket. It's FOLIO size at 9.0" X 12.0" inches. An awesome book! It can be purchased on our Lost Gutenbergs website.
The Cover of Our New Book!
Bookbinders Workshop, Inc. continues to grow at a fabulous rate. The customer base has increased dramatically each year for the last four, and our Exclusive global agency/distributorship for Franz Hoffmann Fine Leathers of Stuttgart, Germany has pretty much taken the trade by storm. There is NO doubt, we have The World's Finest Leather!
Bookbinders Workshop, Inc. is also very proud to welcome aboard, as new authorized dealers, two wonderful, established companies; University Products, Inc. (Mass., USA), and F. J. Ratchford, LTD. (Cheshire, England / United Kingdom). University Products will be showcasing our line of fine bookbinding instructional DVD's and our world-renowned Old Master Leather Conditioner. F. J. Ratchford, LTD. has begun representing our line of Franz Hoffmann Fine Leathers, DVD's, and Old Master Leather Conditioner. BBWS has authorized Ratchford's to represent the full line of Hoffmann Leathers and BBWS products throughout all of the United Kingdom! While BBWS continues to sell directly, we have added these dealers for your convenience!
We have just weathered a pounding 20+ inches of fresh snow here on the Island, so I got some much needed exercise with the snow shovel over the weekend! I did the horse-shoe driveway, side driveway, and the sidewalk....and then enjoyed a much deserved hot cocoa!
Well, Christmas-tide is upon us once more, and Minnie & I (and all of us at BBWS) wish you & yours a very peaceful, joyous, restful season that is full of countless wishes and dreams that 2010 will bring true for you!
In Peace, and thankfulness for your continued interest,
Michael & Minnie Chrisman
