I found a new website today: Talas. I am sure it has been around for quite some time but it is new to me. Anyway they have the best selection of bookbinding supplies I have seen thus far. Really Amazing! I'm really excited about this. They have beautiful papers, lots of awls, leather working tools, and tons of books for learning. Oh and I really want this:
Peachey Minature Bookbinding Tool Set
This set of 15 miniature tools are all hand crafted by master craftsman Jeff Peachey. All tools in the set are 1/4 scale in size, and are made from the same materials as the full size versions. Unbelievably cute and accurate. The set includes an English paring knife, a Peachey paring knife, a French knife, a Peachey style French knife, a backing hammer, an engineers square, a triangle, a bone folder, a wood handled scalpel, a large and small lifting knife, a cord wrapped paste brush, a pallet, a heart finishing tool and a strop. A must for any lover, maker, or collector of miniature books. Makes a great gift!
AND it is only $650.00... I know a little expensive but kind of worth it... maybe someday.
