bookbinding proposal

Description

Full leather, English style binding over laced-on boards in beige Harmatan Goatskin. End sheets would be hand-marbled paper with a leather doublure. Hand-sewn silk headbands in beige, brown and green to match the leather and end sheets. The cover would be tooled in a labyrinth pattern representative of the story lines followed in many of Borges' stories. To read Ficciones is to enter the labyrinth of his mind. The title would be tooled inside the labyrinth, reading left to right on the front cover and reversed on the back.
