Description
Books, as much as experiences, change my life, and I decided to make a limited collection of all the books I read and loved. And maybe you also will find in my collection a book that you enjoyed, and it even might have influenced your life. The book is a soft cover which I recycle and transform into a limited edition, personalized hardback with leather cover, designed and made by me. First, I prepare the book by embedding cotton cords into the spine. Adding 2 mm wood boards to the front and back. And reinforcing everything with cloth. To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and for this I used a painting of Artur Miller, which nicely represents the book. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book. The book is beautiful. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don’t snooze, or you might lose. I will make a total of 100 editions. Each one will be initialed by me and numbered. The numbers will go in chronological order from 2 up, since number 1 stays with me. Book - Presence: Collected Stories by Arthur Miller Size- 8 x 5.5 inches (21 x 13.5 cm) Edition - 11 of 100, initialed and numbered If you are interested in a different title, send me a message and I will give you a quote. You can see the video of how I make the book cover in the link below https://youtu.be/WUC2lGlsgGE If you would like to hear my reviews of the books I read, you can find them in the following link https://www.youtube.com/@livingandreading1159/videos Returns: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted. But you can contact me if there is any problem with your order. Colors: Since I make each item to order, the color might vary from the pictures. It depends on how the inks mix and how they react with leather. Shipping: I make each item to order, and it takes a few weeks, since I need to find the book first. I go to the post office once a week. Estimated delivery time is about two weeks, but it depends on the postal service and customs. And occasionally there are delays, and it might take a month or so to arrive.

Wow. That's all I have to say. I don't think I've ever been so blown away by something in my life. Absolutely gorgeous work, and the seller was a total dream to communicate with! 10/10 all around!!!!! Unfortunately I do not have photos to provide, as I had it shipped directly to my sibling out of state and saw this all through a FaceTime, but trust me.. its amazing!

Arrived nicely packed and pretty quickly given that it is made to order. The cover is stunningly well made and looks just like the illustration. It looks like it will last forever and will probably get better with handling. The book itself is a well made edition well suited to this custom cover. I look forward to reading this graphic novel version of 1984.

Amazing work and the covers are top quality. It is expensive compared to buying any mass paperback but for any bibliophile looking to have a high quality unique stamp on their favorite novels look no further. Shipping was fast and good packaging. The photos do not do the cover justice once you seen them in person. Will buy again in the future.
