The Aviator
(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.

extended leather flap, closes with handmade thonging that wraps
around book four times. Sewn in French style with two reinforcing
ribbons. Four ridges on spine with raised emboss of Orion P3 aircraft
in silver. Pen holder located inside front flap. Inside front cover
features a diamond engraved dedication on sterling silver plate
framed in leather; cover also includes leather photo frame with
clear plastic insert to accept two passport-sized photographs. Black
satin tasselled bookmark. Antique elephant hide endpapers.
