bookbinding proposal

Description

Full beige leather binding in the French tradition with one window cut and opened on each board framing a photograph taken by the binder representing the Brazos. The inside cover will be finished in edge to edge doublures. The top edge will be painted brown to represent the water with sewn headbands in matching colored threads. The design shows two views of the Brazos River observed through the windows of a cabin, representing the author's belief that "a river has few 'views' . . . your consciousness of them is visual only if you walk ashore to see them."
