Sullivan Book Arts

Sullivan Book Arts We specialize in custom bookbinding and repair using quality materials and traditional techniques. Who are we? We're bound only by your imagination.

We now have a storefront in Pittsburg, Kan., complete with a gallery of local artists. Our store hours are posted below, but we're also available by appointment. I'm Olive Sullivan, writer, dog person, and bookbinder. I hold a certificate in Core I Bookbinding from the San Francisco Center for the Book, and I trained for several years as an apprentice with Sharen May, of Drennan Bookbinding in Jop

lin, Mo. I'm passionate about books and making books, specializing in creating custom blank journals with fantasy or nature themes, your design or mine. Sullivan Book Arts also offers custom bookbinding using quality materials and traditional techniques. We restore your beloved books or create custom binding for new work, including dissertations, family histories, and more. The same storefront hosts my partner in bookmania, Angel Abshire, who is Wyrd Hoard Letterpress and Photography. Please get in touch to learn more, or stop by for a tour.
