Cathedral Of The Sea - Leather Covered, Hardback Book, Personalized Gift

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 the painting of the Santa Maria Del Mar church in Barcelona, the title protagonist of the novel. 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 - Cathedral Of The Sea by Ildefonso FalconesSize- 8 x 5.5 inches (21 x 13.5 cm)Edition - 11 of 100, initialed and numberedIf 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 belowhttps://youtu.be/WUC2lGlsgGEIf you would like to hear my reviews of the books I read, you can find them in the following linkhttps://www.youtube.com/@livingandreading1159/videosReturns: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted.
