The Complete Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, Illustrated by Pauline Baynes — Hand-Rebound Leather-Bound Book

This book has been fully disassembled and re-hand-sewn on five cords and traditionally rebound, not merely re-covered.

Each piece is crafted entirely by hand over many days, through multiple meticulous stages. Created in limited quantities, every book remains a singular object.

This book has been bound using high-quality, hand-dyed Italian leather. Each section is hand-sewn, ensuring durability and longevity, crafted to be cherished and passed down through generations.

The book boards and spine feature blind-tooled decorations, while the title and author’s name are gilded in 24K gold. Peter’s shield is hand-painted on the front center board. A hand-tooled leather bookmark has been added to complement the overall design and harmony of the binding. I also marbled the book edges, giving the volume a unique character. 

I hand-marbled the endpapers and all three edges of the book.

All processes are performed entirely by hand, without the use of machines, in respect for traditional craftsmanship and the environment. Bookbinding is a time-intensive craft, but it allows me to place a piece of my soul into every book I create.
