Full-leather binding with blind and gold tooling and raised leather onlays.

This Swedish title, ‘Notes from an island’, features paintings and fine prints by Tuulikki Pietilä that inspired the look and feel of the binding. The blind & gold tooling lining of the inner covers and the rough gilt edges are combined with subtle burnt markings. This binding won the ‘Finishing Award’ (for tooling) in the Designer Bookbinders annual competition in 1997.
