Here I have a selection of Barbara Brear Open Books Greatly Reduced in Price What is an Open Book
A book is a mechanical object. It has to work. It has to open
easily and lie flat when open. Much of the bookbinder's art
goes into mechanical considerations. So to make a perfect book
with pages that turn beautifully and then to glue it so that it
is permanently open is painful to a bookbinder. (A bit like
making a piece of moving machinery and then seizing it so that
it freezes solid.) But this is Barbara does to make an Open
Books. Although the pages do not turn, and therefore you cannot
read the books in the accepted sense of the word, you have to
believe Barbara that they once did turn. The books are fully
sewn and bound with traditional bookbinding methods, giving a
rounded spine. Paper and card used is all acid free.

Barbara Brear Open Stamp Album
Open
Book with 2 pages with stamps individually stuck in and the
stamp album comes with some loose stamps which you can leave
lying around the desk as a "work in progress", as well as 3
pages of stamps that have not been cut out, with which you can
do what you like. The stamps are reductions of actual stamps
and include a Penny Red. The paper of this book is particularly
fine Japanese hand made paper, as befitting a fine quality stamp
album, therefore allowing for many more pages without increasing
the bulk. he first stamps were issued on 6 May 1840, but
realistically collections would have started much later than
that.
