Nice Find, No binding
In article ,

The only problem is that it has no binding, not even at the spine. Duplication of the elaborate original black cloth binding is impossible. So I was thinking of having it bound in full black leather. On the other hand, I understand that there was available from the publisher on special order a three-quarters rust morocco binding over marbled boards. That would be feasible too. I am interested in your thoughts on this. Thank you. Seems to me that if I were going to the trouble and expense to have the book bound, I'd go for the gold -- or in this case rust morocco. I mean, full black leather is so COMMON. :-) The real question is what would make you happy. |
