Welcome to Loxley Books!

I’ve always been a book lover, devouring countless stories over the years. Like many, my shelves were lined with paperbacks and hardcovers from big publishing houses. But as I revisited one of my favourite classic fantasy books, I felt it deserved more. While the original cover art was often stunning, the materials lacked the timeless quality I craved. I wanted something enduring, a cover that would stand proudly on my shelf for decades to come. That’s when the idea of rebinding books took root.

What started as a personal project quickly became a passion. After finishing reading each book, I began rebinding it with leather—sometimes incorporating modern designs, but often inspired by the elegance of centuries-old craftsmanship. My journey into bookbinding was far from easy. It’s a craft that demands patience, precision, and a deep appreciation for detail. But the challenge only deepened my love for it.

And so, Loxley Books was born. This small business is dedicated to readers like me who believe their cherished books deserve something extraordinary. Every book I rebind is handled with care, and my goal is to create a lasting piece that celebrates the stories you love.

If you’ve ever held a book and wished for a cover as special as the words inside, I hope Loxley Books can help bring that vision to life. Each book I create reflects my love of the craft and my belief that great stories deserve to be beautifully preserved.
