We create books in any style or design, tailored to reflect a specific era.

This is especially popular in the film and TV industry, where custom ‘hero’ books can be crafted to suit any scene requiring a period-accurate or visually striking prop.

Sets of Prop Books

Whether you need a single book or an entire set for a scene, we can deliver exactly what your production requires.

Recently, we created a set of around 50 traditional-style notebook journals for a scene in which an elderly character was reflecting on his life through decades of personal diaries. These books were fully printed with a mix of mock-up and 'hero' pages, allowing them to be opened and browsed on camera for authentic close-up shots.
