Lighthouses near Portland, Maine - Jean Cousins
This book is a set of some of Jean’s Cousins’ favorite photographs of the lighthouses around her home in South Portland. There are 22 images from these precious places. 24 pages total with covers.
I have personally printed the book on archival coated card stock with pigment inks. The pages are hand cut and bound with chrome rivets - see illustration.

It is very much a hand made item. The binding is shiny steel “rivets - they screw together” holding the pages firmly. An ordinary hole punch gives them their seat. It holds together very very well. Note: for the time being, this book is available on coated card stock only.
About paper
We recommend coated card stock for the highest print quality on a non-rag paper.
This is card stock that has been coated with a matte finish to optimize print quality from a wide format inkjet printer. The paper we use is 230 gsm, roughly equivalent to 80 pound cover. For giclee quality printing of your calendar we offer heavy rag paper as an option.
For giclee quality printing of your calendar we offer heavy rag paper as an option from Hahnemuehle, their Photo Rag, at 308 gsm or about 120 pound cover. This paper has a velvety surface and yields a print with presence. It is admittedly expensive, but the cost of 14 individual giclee prints of these images, would, at each of the sizes, be much more expensive. At this time, rag paper is not available for books.
We hope this is helpful. ~Robert
