Juniper Custom is the custom products and services division of Juniper Books. Since 2001, Juniper Books has been innovating in the world of books, changing what book sets, book collections, and libraries can look like and how they function in the 21st century. 

We recently launched Juniper Custom in order to better serve book lovers, design enthusiasts, and design trade professionals from start to finish on custom projects of all sizes. 

We are a team of passionate book & design enthusiasts dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind book collections and libraries tailored to our client's unique tastes and preferences.

We buy books from publishers and book dealers around the world. Our book jackets are meticulously designed and hand-folded one book at a time our Boulder, Colorado studio with great care and attention to detail.

Juniper Books was founded by Thatcher Wine, in 2001. Thatcher invented custom book jackets and patented them in 2016. While we have been curating custom projects since the very beginning of the company, Juniper Custom was officially launched in July 2023.

Custom Designed Jackets for Your Books - Full Custom - Get Started with a Deposit

Yes, at Juniper Custom we can design jackets for as many or as few books as you want! Our jackets are made to fit hardcover editions, but If your favorite book is a paperback, we can collaborate with a local business we know to bind the book to then incorporate the custom-designed jacket. We have minimums to require time of our designers.

If you are looking to replace 1 or a few of your jackets to a Juniper Books set, see our page on Juniper Custom, linked below, to help you.

Individual Juniper Books Jackets Only

Absolutely! We love printing art work, photography, designs, logos and other works created by our clients on book murals and book sets. The copyright for the artwork must belong to you or be public domain in order for us to print it. We request high-resolution files in JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, or SVG vector formats with a resolution of at least 300ppi. Please email files to clientservices@junipercustom.com 

If we know the price for a product or service, we have listed it on the product page. If a product does not have a price, that indicates that we need to do some resarch and design work in order to fully estimate the cost of your project.

For Full Custom projects, we ask that you click on the Get Started with a Deposit button, then we will assign the resources needed to prepare an Estimate for you. The deposit is non-refundable. You will have a chance to decide whether to move forward after you receive the Estimate; paying a deposit online does not obligate you to the full project until you have reviewed and approved the Estimate. 

Lead times vary depending on what you are ordering.

If you require a special bookish gift as soon as possible, we recommend ordering an in stock non-personalized book set from Juniper Books. 

Most of our Juniper Custom products ship in about 2 weeks. Full custom orders can take 4 - 6 weeks, while large collections, libraries and murals can take 2 - 4 months to complete. 

Thank you for your deposit! This payment signifies your commitment to a Full Custom project and enables us to allocate the necessary resources for research and initial design concepts. Please note that deposits are non-refundable.

Yes, we ship orders of all sizes worldwide on a daily basis. Book Sets and smaller Book Collections typically ship by FedEx. For larger Book Collections and Libraries, we pack books in boxes, then wrap them on a pallet for shipment by freight. Our default is to work with our freight forwarder, but if you have a logistics provider, we are happy to work with them.

The difference in the quality of our books is significant.  We only acquire books that are perfect for a client's project. Unlike other companies offering books by the foot, we don't start with an inventory of books that couldn't be sold in other ways. We thoughtfully source each book collection to perfectly align with our clients' unique projects.

We also screen the books we choose for projects to ensure that they do not have objectionable titles or content when placed in a public space. We source and handpick every volume, ensuring they pass our rigourus screening process.

Our discerning approach guarantees a significant difference in quality.

Yes!

Filler books are real books, but they are brought into the project for their size or color, NOT their content. Sometimes these books are in previously owned condition, but our quality control team ensures that each book goes through a screening process to ensure it meets the Juniper Custom standards.

We also screen for appropriate content. Most often projects or book sets using filler books are meant to be decorative only, not to be read, but we know people are curious so we want to ensure that if they do peek behind the jackets, there are no surprises! 

Please note, this is Juniper Custom's definition of filler books. Other companies may define their filler books differently.

Yes, we understand the importance of confidentiality when working on private home libraries and with businesses on development projects and events. Please contact clientservices@junipercustom.com with your request. 

Our Designer program is open to interior designers, architects, event planners, developers, visual merchandisers, and others in the design trade.

Program members receive a 20% discount on in-stock products on Juniper Books. Members have loved the fast turnaround and great selection of over 150 beautifully designed books sets for over 20 years. They make great client gifts and add an unexpected piece of art to any bookshelf.

When working with Juniper Custom, our dedicated team works closely with members on a daily basis for their Full Custom project needs. We also highlight Designer Favorites on our site.

Please note that due to the nature and cost of our custom design work, Juniper Custom products and services are priced the same for all customers.

We specialize in making thoughtfully curated and beautifully designed books easy to order in quantity, but we do not have a minimum order. Note, we do have a minimum fee when requiring time from our designer and or curator.

Custom orders are non-returnable and non-refundable. We work hard to ensure that everything we make to order is created to your satisfaction. If something is not right, we will work with you to make it right.

Shelf measurements are important for our custom work, and sharing as much information as possible (elevations, plans, shop drawings, etc.) will help us make sure that we are producing and delivering the appropriate quantity of books in the proper sizes.
