Welcome to
The Binder's Room was created from my personal love of books and binding.
For a few years now, after falling back in love with reading,
I have been falling in love with the art of bookbinding and rebinding.
Like many, it all started with me wanting my own copy of Manacled in 2021.
This copy turned out terribly! My typeset was improperly formatted, the book was rigid from using the wrong kind of paper and the wrong types of glue.
I even got so excited that I glued one of my covers on upside down.
Since then, I haven't stopped honing my craft.
Book binding found me at a time when I needed it more than I knew.
My love of books and binding truly saved my life,
and I don't know where I would be without them,
and getting to make them myself has furthered that connection.
As for the name, I, like many readers, have a never-ending "TBR" list.
Although most of us know this to stand for To-Be-Read, I wanted to give a nod to that ever-growing list in my bindery's name.
Hence, The Binder's Room was born.
Much like my TBR list, The Binder's Room symbolizes a boundless (pun intended) love for books and a passion that will continue to grow.
If you share my passion for books and are hoping to have a lovely, one-of-a-kind, handmade copy of a book you love for your shelf, or are looking for some tools to start binding yourself, get in contact below and let's get chatting!

Hi, I'm Katherine!
I am the person behind The Binder's Room!
I am a born and raised Montanan, freshly relocated in Arizona (yes, I am still adjusting to the heat).

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!
As a bit of a social introvert, I know how awkward contacting someone new can feel, but I promise I don't bite! Creating a safe, comfortable, inclusive environment is crucial to me!
