The Crown Jewels
Leather Edition. History of the crown jewels of Great
Britain by Karen Feinberg. Illustrated by Romilda Dilley. This special
edition is bound in rich royal purple kid. The difference between the same
hot die stamping gold on leather or on book cloth is especially evident
in the cover of this book. The leather edition reveals all the great detail
the die maker has put into his work. Stamping on book cloth just loses
much of the subtlety. The cover design by Louise Bange shows the beautifully
detailed crown of the British monarchs. End paper is green, purple and
cream. 15/16" tall, 64 pages. $45.00.
