There's a lot of options to go through when you're ordering an album. So, hopefully this page will help you out if you're unable to make an appointment to go through the options with us. We offer two different albums and each album offers its own set of unique options. We offer a Formal Art Album and a Modern Coffee Table Book. We'll go through each option for each album, one at a time. And if you've got questions we'd love to help so please email us.
First up, the Formal Art Album. These albums are pristine, hand made to last a lifetime. And they have the most options, so take your time and really go through what's available to you.
OPTION NUMBER ONE: COVER STYLE
FORMAL ART ALBUM sizes : 8x12, 11x14, 12x17
All the covers are leather, so your choice really just rests on the style you prefer.
OPTION NUMBER TWO: LEATHER
Choose one out of the three available categories: Matte, Two Tone, or Textured leathers.
OPTION NUMBER THREE: COVER CAMEO
You may choose a "cameo" or inset cover image. (see "cameo sample") There are different layout options and sizes available. You'll see an illustration of the album, 8x10 or 11x14 with vertical or horizontal album orientation. Some illustrations show an 8x8 size, you can contact us if you're interested in that. 8x8 is a size that we do not offer but it is available upon special request.
OPTION NUMBER FOUR: GILDING
Next you need to decide on the page gilding color. Gilding is the edge face of each page.
OPTION NUMBER FIVE: THE BOX
And finally, you need to decide if you want a cameo on your box or not. The box is made to match the album so you don't have to choose leather or anything else, just if you want a cameo or not.
MODERN COFFEE TABLE BOOK sizes : 11x11, 8x8, 6x6 - 11x13, 7.5x9, 6x7
OPTION NUMBER ONE: ALBUM LINE
First choose the line of album you're wanting. The Pure line is simple, offering beautiful linens, image wraps and quarter bound books. The Soul line adds handmade end papers and a custom stamp. The Luxe line has all of this plus gorgeous cases.
OPTION NUMBER TWO: COVER STYLE*
Available cover styles for Pure and Luxe are linen, image wrap and quarter bound. * Soul books offer only the linen cover style.
OPTION NUMBER THREE: COVER COLOR
Choose your linen color. If you've chosen image wrap as your cover style you don't need to pick a color.
And that is it! If you have any questions please contact us, we'd love to meet with you and help you through the process. Hopefully this helps out. All the best.

OPTION NUMBER FOUR: END PAPER COLOR *(Soul and Luxe ONLY.)
Select your end paper color. * Available on the Soul and Luxe lines only.
OPTION NUMBER FIVE: STAMP FONT *(Soul and Luxe ONLY.)
Choose the font to be stamped onto the cover of your Soul or Luxe book. You can choose the font size from 48pt up to 84pt, be careful to choose a font size that matches your album size, eg: 48pt looks great on 6x7 but gets lost on 11x13. Text is stamped onto the optical center of your book, actual stamp can look slightly different than on screen representation. Custom fonts can be purchased at an additional cost which is available upon request.
OPTION NUMBER SIX: CASE
Select the case you would like, either the presentation box, clam shell, or slip. Cases are stamped with the same font and text as the album cover.
We've spent a lot of time finding great companies that compliment our style. These album companies hold the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship as we do. They're reliable, artistic and Canadian.
