A patchwork binding

£1,200.00

352 pages.
8⅜ × 7 inches.
Scottish-tanned goatskin leather.
23.5 carat gold leaf.

‘Quilted’ covers of highly tooled leather. My mum was for many years a quilter so the piecing together of random patterns to make a big pattern is a familiar thing, plus it gave me a chance to reconnect with a lot of different tools that I have collected over the years.

Five seasons paper folded into sections and sewn onto sunken cords, spine glued as a tightback with laced-on boards, sewn linen endbands and pink paste endpapers.
