Design reflects an exploration of depth and complexity of language and its rhythm and pattern. Overall binding design is monochromatic with sculptural components. Five panels stretch across the planes of the binding, with rhythmic sets of slots. When…

The text block will be sewn on tapes and cased into a full leather binding of blue-green goatskin. The front board of the case bears the title and author's name hot-stamped with white foil. The binding within its box will be housed in a half leather…
Graham Patten proposal
Hanmer
Binding based on "clip-on cover" structure by Kathy Abbott. The proposed binding would protect the binding while allowing it to be fully visible with no stress to the text block or case. The wavy line references biblical water metaphors and the…
Hanmer
The design is inspired by the theme of duality woven through Ficciones, and by Borges’ later reminiscence of childhood. Bound in yellow goatskin, with backpared onlays of pale yellow and black, the title stamped with custom die. Endsheets of Ingres…

French technique fine binding with sewn-on flattened cords laced into boards covered in full goatskin using Paul Delrue's lacunose technique. Goatskin onlay and inlaid lines. Leather joints, suede flyleaves, earth tone textured machine-made Japanese…

Harms
Bernard C. Middleton’s words reveal a mind long-trained to salvage even the most decayed book materials: I imagine a vine trained upon a trellis that sprouts new leaves. The green cotton book cloth is to be silkscreened with the image of a vine on…
Hoffman
A large graphic M signifies Middleton's last name and his long, productive, and influential career. The quotation cited above is blind embossed within the M: the words contained within the letter represents Middleton's wealth of knowledge that he…
Ingalls
The proposed design reflects the specific idea of the warping of reality. Sieved through simplicity, lines become representational. The cover depicts the warp with “FICCIONES” and “BORGES” flanking it down the spine, all characters being blind…
Ingalls
Binding structure in the French technique, with deep-blue goatskin with 'Birdsong' lines and titling hand tooled in 23 karat gold. Silk thread endbands, natural top edge, endsheets of blue pastepaper with sparkles of gold. "Sunken suede" doublures.…
Ingalls
Proposal is a mix of traditional binding and contemporary design. Crosses are partially sanded through the vellum cover showing gold beneath. This design is inspired by Apocrypha meaning "hidden things."
Ingalls
I like the idea of a historical structure, a stiff-board parchment binding, touched with a bit of modernity by utilizing modern papers in the interior. Binding in red parchment over boards, using the "floating boards" method. Flyleaves and…
Jackson
The design for Borges’ Ficciones is suggested by the mysterious encyclopedia described in “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.” The volume number is a hint from the infinite “Library of Babel.” English fine binding in full yellow goatskin with recessed…

Quarter leather bound in the skin of a western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) to be caught, killed, and tanned by the binder in Jack County, not far from the banks of the Brazos River. Textblock sewn on five frayed linen cords, painted…

The design evokes the gothic style of binding prevalent during the author's lifetime. Textblock disassembled, repaired as needed, and then sewn on five double-cord stations. Unbleached linen cords laced into cured, quarter-sawn wooden boards…
Jackson
For this simple panel design of The Restoration of Leather Bindings, I propose a full black goatskin tight-joint case binding. The sheets will be sewn on three tapes, all text block edges will be gilded, and silk headbands will be sewn by hand. The…
Jones
Jones's design is based upon the idea of the river representing freedom and escape for Huck and Jim. The barbed wire represents the constant threat to that freedom with the river as the only way out. Split-board construction with hollow back,…
Kamph
Full leather tightback spine binding in wine red oasis goatskin with gray goatskin onlays and gold tooling. Gold-tooled title and date on spine. Honorable Mention for Design and Binding
Kamph
The design is based on sixteenth-century sketches for a missing Bronzino fresco. The intertwined bodies will be beige oasis goatskin onlays on a blue goatskin background. The sample binding includes the technique of applying gold tooling without a…
