Molly West's handbound paper-page albums reach the pinnacle of quality and design in heirloom memory archives. Heavyweight acid/lignin-free pages in black, ivory, or white are bound by hand in the Japanese top-stitch tradition. Each leaf has an elegant grosgrain hinge, allowing the album to lie open perfectly flat, enhancing both form and function. The pages are thoughtfully interspersed with spacers to accomodate mountings and to prevent yawning when the book is filled. A beautifully coordinated Japanese fly leaf is bound as the opening and closing page. Bindings are sewn in a style appropriate to the cover design, ranging from rustic knots to elegant bows.
