The Five Tales Press journal range — pattern, graphic and pride covers

A custom journal bindery

Journals aren’t supposed to come in one size.

Pick a cover — plaid to periodic table. Rule the pages to your spec. Sign the dedication. We print and bind a real book and ship it in days. Often a gift. Always custom.

You design it. We bind it.

Every order runs the full press: your cover, your page ruling, your words typeset like a real book. One copy, printed and bound just for you, on press for a few days and then on your doorstep.

The presscode

Every interior has a recipe.

Build a page ruling and the last page prints its presscode — a short mark that brings the exact same interior back. Any journal, any cover, years later.
