One of a series of six Penguin book size bindings

THESE BOOKS:

Filled with natural white coloured laid paper, these books are the (very almost) the same size as your favourite publisher's book. 

Each one is bound in leather, hand printed paper and vellum.

...and filled with laid paper.

LAYFLAT:

All Properly Made Books are made to open completely flat...

and beyond, opening a full 360 degrees, cover to cover, without causing any damage to the spine and giving complete access to the papery real estate.

These bindings all feature vellum tipped corners which are both decorative and practical. Vellum is similar to leather but processed differently to give a tough yet papery surface. The toughness of the white vellum protects the corners of the book when in transit or when being placed on a shelf. They also look great!

SIZE: 7¾ x 5¼ inches, 200 x 135 mm

PAGES: 108

IN THE HAND:

Almost (within 2mm) thw same size as a Penguin book!
