While Thatcher and Juniper Books are at the forefront of doing innovative things with the printed book, we also are one of the largest sellers of antique books that are timeless and beautiful. We always stock a large inventory of leather and vellum books, including antiquarian selections as well as modern leather from Easton Press, Franklin Library and others.
We work with designers and homeowners on all the details of a project involving leather or vellum books, whether it be a request to fill shelves by the foot, or to be a more curated collection by author or subject. We take all specifications into account including book sizes, colors, condition and subject matter.
Our projects involving these beautiful books over the years have included:
- One thousand vellum bound books in English for an estate
- Two thousand antique leather books in brown tones, mostly in English
- A curated library of 500 leather books picked one set/author at a time
- A selection of red leather books to display at one of the Major golf tournaments
- Brown and black leather books to be used for merchandising at a retail chain
- Leather books under 6″ tall for an antique secretary
- Leather books over 12″ tall for a home library
- Leather bound ledger books for a retailer to use in merchandising
- Inexpensive leather books for a country club
In addition to providing selections of real leather and vellum books, we also design and printed book jackets that look like vellum or leather books and thus can transform a modern hardcover book into a antique styled book. Thatcher invented these book covers in 2010 and they have been very well received as a means of unifying book collections and making modern libraries look like 19th century classics.
