A selection of hand-made books from the Hestan Isle Press
The Hestan Isle Press prints texts which are romantic, amusing, uplifting, or just hard to find - made in Scotland.
The books are letterpress printed on the Hand-press from individual letters of metal type, and all are signed limited editions.
Some are Twelfth-scale books, some are Miniature Books, some larger.
Some are illustrated by Frances Grant or Peter Grant, and all are hand-bound using artificial leathers, book-cloths, and interesting papers.
