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 I did here I used an abstract painting of people wondering and going about somewhat pointlessly. And for me, it kind of symbolizes the author observing the society, the individual members of it, and the meaninglessness of their efforts. 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 - Nausea by Jean-Paul SartreSize- 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.
