Bradel binding with a goatskin covered spine. The boards are covered in hand-dyed goatskin using a craquelure resist technique in yellows, oranges and reds. The top edge is hand cut and colored using acrylics, and the leather jointed end papers are handmade paste paper by Marie Kelzer. Headcaps are sculpted and the headbands are hand woven. The edition is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Japanese cloth with flocked velour floors. Bound by hand by prize-winning bookbinder, Gillian Stewart in Glasgow’s East End. The text pages are composed in Gimlet and Sachsenwald, and are printed letterpress on Stonehenge cotton paper.
