Aviator II
(Leather Wrap A5)
Here is the real treasure of imagination - books that people wished
into existence, every one unique, every one magical. Some of these books
are made from specialised materials such as emu leather (to look like
dragon scales), real silver, amber, keys, feathers, dreams.
A5 - 312 pages. Brown oiled kangaroo leather with
extended leather flap, closes with handmade thonging that wraps
around book four times. Sewn in French style with two reinforcing
ribbons. Five ridges on spine with hand carved NM monogram in gold.
Pen holder located inside front flap. Black satin tasselled bookmark.
Antique elephant hide endpapers.
