Wow, what an amazing show!  

So many good speakers, and it was so great meeting everyone out there, seeing old friends, and catching up...  And of course New Orleans itself is FANTASTIC!  

We even have a nice video shot by our friend Jaci Clark: www.jaciclark.com showing our books.

 




We also launched our first show special, which was a great success.  Make sure you keep your eyes out for us at future shows, and don't forget to ask us about the new show specials.

Hope to see everyone again soon, and looking forward to New Orleans again next year!

Book of the Month for April from Photographer Laura Negri and Designer Elissa Brown http://www.couturebook.com/blog/PermaLink,guid,fd7b631c-c83a-48d7-ada4-dd0178bca96d.aspx 2009-04-02T11:22:29.368-07:00 2009-04-08T10:58:12.6831527-07:00
Check out this cool custom book by the amazing Laura Negri Photography (www.lauranegri.com):

Click here to check out the book:The Freeman Book

Laura had us build a custom style book for her which was a combination of several different styles.   The main book uses the Snow fabric from the Paris line for the cover material, and has the printed vellum wrap.
                       
The book is then nestled in a custom slipcase, like the New York style books, but this time done in the Snow fabric.



The design and layout was done by the very talented Elissa Brown.  I love how she used the printed end-sheets to really customize the feel of the book

   

And the printed vellum pages inside work so well for the chapter markers

        

Laura also ended up making a second smaller copy for the parent book, which I think looks really nice together with the parent book as a set




Thanks Laura and Elissa for letting us share your book!
