Long-stitch binding in reindeer skin and wood veneer covers.

The soft and tactile materials of this binding, which include reindeer leather, cherry veneer and silk stitching, are inspired by the photographs and script excerpts from romantic Hollywood films. This book was the first title I bought when I moved to London in 1993, found it in a small bookshop in Putney. It has a really playful, nostalgic feel to it. At the time, although the signs were there, I had no inkling that in a few years’ time, I’d return to it to make a unique binding for it.
