Publication of this exciting new book will be on 8 November. We are offering a pre-publication price of £220 (plus shipping) for orders paid for before publication. After publication the price will be £250. Copies can now be ordered at our online shop.

If you have previously placed a firm order with us, please order through our shop now - a copy has been reserved for you!

If you are a Subscriber, stand by for a separate email to get your discount!

There will also be just ten special lettered copies - more details of these can be found at our website.

 


We have had a trial copy bound at Ludlow Bookbinders to ensure that all the parts fit together: suminagashi-marbled cover papers, end-papers, the text, thirty photographs, thirteen paper samples. And it looks splendid - see below. Each copy will have a unique sheet of suminagashi marbling on the boards by Sarah Amatt.

You can find out more about the book and see more photographs of the inside at our website.
