Description
Head gilt before sewing on tapes, forwarded as a concave spine binding, tab and slot board attachment. Spine covered in full goatskin with inlaid goatskin title. Boards of eggshell lacquer panels joined with forged patinated brass “lines”, goatskin doublures tooled in gilt, completing the drawings. The boards feature portraits of Borges as a young and middle-aged man. The flyleaves of inlaid goatskin feature a garden. They will be first viewed through the gates and paths of the covers, the portraits revealed only as the boards are opened. 2006 DeGolyer Award for American Bookbinding
