Handcrafted by The Corvedale Press, a new private press established by Paul Kidson, owner of Ludlow Bookbinders. The inception of The Corvedale Press within the Ludlow Bookbinders family is the foundation for the sheer quality and craftsmanship woven in to every element of the production, and it's important to understand the constituents to gain insight into the book in its entirety. The Jane Austen series showcases the best of British craftsmanship.
The Book : Deluxe limited edition. Fully bound in green leather and housed in a suede-lined slipcase. The front of the slipcase and book have gold blocked regency inspired figures, specially commissioned for this project. The images don't do justice to the quality of the blocking, which is raised and shimmers gold and green. The spine on the book shows the title and comes with raised bands. The book has a gilt top edge.
