The small book that started it all

Our founder’s first handmade book, and what we changed since.

Written by Elin Berg

Every Paperleaf book passes through a lot of hands before it reaches yours. We are often asked what happens in between, so this is a look at one small part of the process.

Quick tip: star photos on your phone as you take them. Picking takes half the time at the end of the month.

I thought I needed a better camera. I needed a better window.

    This is exactly the nudge I needed. My camera roll has four thousand photos from this year alone.

    I printed our first book after reading this and my daughter has not put it down since.
