I bought these as gifts for my grand daughters. They absolutely loved them. Really made.
I have always loved Kate Bowles mini books. Beautifully made and ideal for carrying in your handbag / pocket to make notes or little sketches. Some even have little envelopes in for treasures you find along the way ! Great gifts to give to special people too.

I was looking forward to this book arriving as soon as I saw it was being published. A generous discount code from Beyond Measure made the book even more appealing. It arrived beautifully packaged and on time.
I’ll be knitting lots of sweaters from it!
I am very pleased with this hand tool. I am sewing fifty A3 artist books and my usual tools were not really up to the job. I am able to manage 5 sheets of 200gms paper at a time - there are 46 sheets in each book; it is a labour of love, enjoyable, meditative. I first tried a much cheaper option and returned it, as it could do no more than my awl - one page at a time!
Exactly what I was looking for to punch holes into leather. got the separate 2mm attachment, the puncher is very easy to use and sharp, leaves a very clean hole in the leather. Delivery was speedy too. Overall, very happy with my purchase.
It’s beautiful kit. I’m wondering why I didn’t buy it years ago! I’m half way through and really enjoying it.
Works well and good to hold useful for paper modelling
