Published by The Folio Society. Bound by Glenn Malkin (2010)
Fully bound in rough natural goat, airbrushed and painted, over painted and textured natural goat covered boards. Distressed paper label to the spine. Full brown goat leather doublures and suede endpapers. Hand-sewn silk endbands. Edges decorated with acrylics. Presented in a bespoke suede-lined drop-back box.
