The illustration shows the handmade miniature book "Shakespeare's Flowers".It was made & published by Jan Kellett of the De Walden Press who used a customised paper from Griffen Mill.The paper for miniature books has to be both thin yet opaque - two properties not easily reconciled! Of the papers in the standard bookbinding range, Akbar was originally made for the British Library as a strong endpaper & Cathedral was used by the conservation team at Canterbury Cathedral when conserving & rebinding Tudor accounts. The examples above illustrate some of the reasons why commissioning a customised paper can mitigate both technical & aethestic problems. In any one year up to 30% of Griffen Mill's production is devoted to special makings. You can order exactly what you need & we send a sample & quotation for approval before asking for confirmation of the order.There is no charge for "working up" the new paper and we also offer a free advice service. Please contact the Mill if you wish to discuss having a paper made to your own special requirements. |
