About us

A shared love for books and words motivated us to start
Loonbook Publishing and Bookbinding. We tremendously
enjoy working with people to help them realize their dream to
have a book of their own.

Yvonne finished her studies at University of Zurich with a degree in
education. Being multilingual she developed an affinity for
languages and dreamed of becoming a writer as far back as grade
four. After many years of traveling in several countries she found
herself back in Zurich where she worked as a technical writer and
teacher in the adult education field. Since immigrating to Canada
again in 1991 she wrote a biography for Otto Mueller, which is now
promoted through the North Dakota State University's Germans
from Russia Heritage program. Her editing for Loonbook includes
everything from proof reading to full editing.

Räto learnt the art craft of binding books by hand at a very early
age in his hometown of St. Moritz in Switzerland. After studying
mathematics at ETH (Technical University in Zurich) he worked in
the computer field for more than 25years doing everything from
programming to project management. He had worked with design
and layout software for many years - a great asset helping him with
designing the books for Loonbook. In his workshop you find
everything from highly sophisticated machinery to innovative self-
constructed tools for his binding jobs. He offers everything from
hard cover with old-fashioned fabric bookmarks to perfect bound
soft covers

Dear Raeto,
Just to let you know, I have had numerous people compliment me on my book.
They all said that you and Loonbook did a wonderful job.
I hope that you and your wife and all your family have a happy
Thanksgiving.
Ron Dawson
