Description
Black Harmatan goatskin, with colored leather onlays used for the design of the riverboat and raft. Gold stars will fill the sky and the water will be tooled in wavy blind lines. Brown foil will outline the raft and the front of the riverboat. The samples illustrate the color and style of the proposed tooling. The title will be "Huck Finn" tooled in gold with Centaur letters. "Mark Twain" will be tooled in slightly smaller letters. There will be handsewn silk endbands, and the endpapers will be a hand-painted black and gold paste paper with black leather joints.
