Fine.

Described by the binder Nicky Oliver as a ‘full leather binding with leather joints – flat back structure. Real gold foil edges. Contrasting leather end-bands. The fly leaves and edge-to-edge doublures are hand printed using the dendritic technique – each pair is unique. The tree design on the front boards was created with the assistance of Kim Southam.’
