Description

The poetry, illustrations, and the countryside Wendell Berry describes inspired this design. Soft, rolling hills are shown using the bas-relief areas and the crops are represented by the rough green leather onlays and gold tooled lines with a dusting of surface gilding. Headbands have been made with gold tooled leather and the leather jointed endpapers are a lamination of eastern papers tooled in gold. Structurally the binding is laced-on full natural goatskin with joints and hollow tube sized more generously than traditionally to allow for a more flowing movement in the binding.
