About Us

This is what some of our clients have said about us

It was a delightful experience working with Louise. Her beautifully handbound Chinese silk books were an ideal gift for a large contingent of international visitors, and the professionalism of her outfit was impeccable from selection through delivery.

Louise, the album is beautiful & thanks so very much for doing such a wonderful job. My business colleague really loved it, for many reasons. Firstly, the cover was a chinese dragon, and he is a dragon. And of course the pictures with the personal testimonials really touched him. I really appreciate the time you spent helping us to think through the idea (which I know seem rather chaotic at times!)

Hi Louise,
Forgot to mention - of course they LOVED the book! Both the bride and groom loved it and all their guests, ALL of them, signed personal messages on it. The book and felt-tipped pens were passed from table to table during the dinner reception and so everyone had a chance to read what others have written about them, and also to add their bits. It was a really nice touch! Thank you.

Louise,
The brag books have been an incredible success story & although they took me a long time to tailor the content to each individual recipient. All grand parents now carry and display proudly their beautiful grand daughter.

Bookworks is craftsmanship at its finest! We are the proud owners of many exquisite albums ranging from our memorable concertina boxed "East meets West" wedding invitations covered in Chinese Emperor yellow brocade each adorned with a piece of jade, to the most gorgeous and stunning red leather and Chinese silk wedding album, to customised photograph albums using fabric we had purchased during our honeymoon in Bhutan and a trip to Burma, each one brings to life and encapsulates the memories of the event.
Over the years our friends and family have all benefited from brag books and our commissioning Louise and her team to make personalised weddingalbums and signing books. They have all been as enthralled as we have been with the results.
We are true Bookworks fans!

I first met Louise when I moved to Hong Kong in 1993. I signed up for her bookbinding classes which was one of the highlights of my first year here. Not only is Louise an excellent teacher but her classes were very warm & friendly and made one feel at home. As a result of the classes I developed a passion for fine papers & a much deeper understanding of the world of fine books. Over the past few years I have commissioned Bookworks to make several customized albums for me. Each one is a fine work of art & some I have given as gifts. I would recommend Bookworks to anybody who either wanted to take classes or have beautiful albums & albums to keep forever or give as gifts Tracy Hankins
