Description

Dark blue Niger goatskin to portray the river, with the spine grain on the spine of the book, flowing down the center of the binding from a distant horizon line where the river meets the sky. Dark green Niger goatskin emphasizing the contours of the shore. Leafy treescape suggested with blind linoleum-cut embossings, title tooled with hand letters in blind, curving down the spine so that it also becomes part of the currents of the river. Spanish moss handmade paper endpapers and sewn "frayed cords" for a smooth spine. Tight back; worked headbands in blues; a colored top edge.
