Services
Here is a list of all the services I provide at the Handmade Cactus Bindery. If you have questions about anything, please reach out to me. More services coming soon!
Ready Made Books
I have books available in my store that are already made, and available for purchase immediately. Check out my shop page to explore what I have available! If you don't find what you're looking for, message me about ordering a custom book.
Printed Books
If you have a document that you want converted into a beautiful and unique hardcover book, I can do that! Starting at $50, this service allows you to customize every part of your book, from the fonts and their sizes, to the paper they are printed on, to the endpapers, cover papers, bookmarks, and corner protectors (if applicable.)
Please message me for details.
Made to Order Books
I have a wide array of materials to choose from: fabric, bookcloth, and tons of decorative papers for your cover material. You can choose between affordable backing board and archival Davey board, and the choice of inner text block paper is also entirely up to you. Currently I have aged paper, 70lb sketch paper, 110lb (180 gsm) mixed media paper, 140lb (300 gsm) watercolor paper, and toned Strathmore sketch paper available.
For this type, please message me through this site or from any of my linked socials.
Frequently asked questions
I'm still working on the logistics of this on the website, but you can email me at thehandmadecactus@yahoo.com, text me at (915) 490-9374, submit a message on my contact form, or contact me on Facebook or Instagram regarding your future book. Tell me what you would like and I will show you personalized suggestions to make it truly special.
I require a deposit before work starts (depending on the total cost of the book) and the rest due at completion.

I do not currently rebind Bibles, as repairing them is a very complicated process requiring a great deal of knowledge and skill that I do not currently have. I am in school at the American Academy of Bookbinding to learn though, and hope to be able to offer this service in the next few years. Keep me in mind in future!
