Geoffrey Bridgman is a bookbinder and lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Inspired by a love of old books, Bridgman first approached bookbinding as a way of presenting his own writing. He has been heavily inspired by the handbound grimoire tradition in the occult community and the culture around bookbinding. Bridgman learned to make books at the Center for the Book Arts in New York City and began his trade running a limited edition press and writing collective called The Enthusiast.
