The Lord of the Rings, Hand sewn and hand bound book, Illustrated by J.R.R Tolkien

Please note this book is Hand Sewn on five cords and rebound in the traditional method and not simply recovered

This book includes all of the trilogy which are 'The Fellowship of the Ring', 'The Two Towers', 'The Return of the King'. The book is sturdy to hand down to the next generations because the pages were hand sewn. I bound my book with quality hand dyed Italian leather and I did blind tooling onto the leather plates. Title and author were gilded with 24K gold on the spine. I also added the antique style tooled leather bookmark for the harmony of the book. Marbled endpaper is unique because I made it one by one with my hands and selected the best one for the book. The book edges are marbled.
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.
