*Please note that this book is Hand Sewn on five cords and rebound in the traditional method and not simply recovered*
Hand sewn and hand bound 'The Hobbit'. I bound my book with high quality hand dyed Italian leather. The book is sturdy to hand down to the next generations because the pages were hand sewn. I did blind tooling decorations onto the book plates and spine. Title and author were gilded with 24K gold. I also added tooled leather bookmark for the overall harmony. As an endpaper I used handmade marbled paper which I made and selected the best one for the book. I also marbled the book edges with my hand.
All processes are performed by hands without using any machine to respect tradition and environment. It takes a long time to bind a book but it allows me to put a piece of my soul into each book.

This is the third book I ordered from Niccolò and even though I already own two precious books from him I was once again stunned by the outstanding quality and the beauty of this book. Trust me when I say his books look even more amazing in reality than they do on the pictures. It is hard to describe. An image can't give the real look and feel you get holding these books. They are a treasure. Niccolò's handcraft is a treasure.
You won't find anything like it elsewhere. As a book lover I have come across a few bookbinders and none of them can compete with Niccolò. Sure it is always a matter of taste, too but quality wise, if you want something really sturdy and long living, then you are in best hands with Niccolò's books. I myself am in love with this old romantic designs, they make a highlight in every book collection and everyone appreciating books will appreciate Niccolò's work. Trust me! Please support this amazing artist so we can keep these outstanding hand sewn and hand bound books alive in this fast paced and digitally dominated world. If you think of buying from Niccolò - do it! You won't regret it. These books you save up money for are worth every coin spent.
Fantastic piece of art. A worthy treasure piece for years to come.
This is my second book from Niccolo and I am truly amazed. The feeling of his books are fantastic! Also, i have not seen this before but the textblock isn’t just painted with that design he had textured it as well giving depth to the textblock. I will continue to purchase more from Niccolo in the future!
Another superb work of art from Niccolò! Super speedy and reliable international shipping and timely, professional communication. Can’t wait for my next book to arrive!
This is my second book from this seller. It has the same amazing quality. Shipping was fast, and the book was well packaged. I would highly recommend this man's products to anyone who wants to add some high-quality books to their collection.
