‘Characters From Dickens’

A very limited-edition publication of just 15 numbered and signed copies (plus one copy to be bound in a unique full leather design binding)
Renowned theatrical costume designer, Tim Heywood, has created twelve special full-page illustrations of favourite characters from books by Charles Dickens, including Mr Bumble, Miss Havisham, Ebenezer Scrooge and Abel Magwitch. Every illustration is in Tim’s unique style and is initialed and numbered by the artist. Every copy of the book is also signed by the artist and the bookbinder.
The illustrations are accompanied by Dickens’ wonderful descriptive text, traditionally letterpress printed by Phil Treble of Mutton & Nuts on 160gsm Madrid Litho paper from John Purcell Paper.
Hand-bound in leather and cloth by award winning bookbinder Glenn Malkin and presented in a bespoke hand-made slip case. Each book is bound in one of three selected colours of Coral luxury textured bookcloth with a lay-flat structure to display the individually bound folios to their best advantage.
The size of each book is approx. 310 x 185 x 15mm.
Price: £395 plus postage
