Welcome
Newbreak Book Arts

One of my favorite childhood stories was my grandfather’s recollection of spotting an unidentified flying object above his rural Minnesota farm. He saw the object over a portion of property referenced as the newbreak, the newest break in the land between two fields, and watched the object emerge from the treeline in a rapid ascent before it disappeared. The newbreak forever holds a blend of fantastic paranormal mystery and appreciation for the natural beauty of idyllic farmland. This bindery’s name and logo is an homage to the stories and people who shaped me, inspiring me to search beyond what I know.
