What is a bespoke book?

A bespoke book is a high-end, Taylor-made editorial publishing work of art that can be used to commemorate a person, place, event, or moment in time. It can also be used as a high-end way to introduce a new idea, service, or product in an evocative and meaningful way.

Bespoke book uses

Applications are limitless but here are a few ways to use bespoke books:

  • To showcase a high-end product or service such as luxury estates, exclusive travel adventures, megayachts, and supercars lavishly and memorably.
  • To commemorate the life of someone special.
  • To remember a special in event history.
  • To chronicle the history of distinguished families
  • To treasure the career of an impactful person.

How can bespoke books be customized?

The applications for bespoke books are limitless and so is the level of detail that can be put into them. Superb design, amazing copy, and expressive photography can be enhanced by astonishing book boxes, leather-bound covers, precious metal elements in the binding, and themed bookmarks to just mention a few possibilities.

FWC’s team is imaginative, experienced, and diligent.

How to begin your Bespoke Design Process

FWC’s design process begins with a comprehensive exploration of your goals. What story do you want to tell? How do you want the readers to feel? What images do you want to evoke in their minds?

In the next step, FWC’s team will present a series of inspirational ideas in a storyboard format, including style, typography, photography, and illustration. Once a “winner” is selected, the focus will be placed on the physical elements of the book such as page size, paper stocks, cover materials, binding technique, and other exciting considerations. A presentation is then developed to further refine the vision and proceed to the book design phase.

The following are important questions when it becomes to the bespoke book design process.

  • What is the main goal?

  • Do you need suggestions to find the right author?
