Roman Numeral Edition

The box has been made by Master Stonecarver Nick Roberson, and is made out of real amethyst with a Princeton Quartz base (for durability). Inset within the lid is a Cumbrian, Scout Moor grey sandstone stone with the author, title and letter of the numeral hand carved.

Stone carving letters at this size was practically unheard of, and Nick had to make a special tool for the job.

It has been beautifully lined by the artisans at Ludlow Bookbinders with sumptuous black suedel and has a matching black ribbon to release the book when needed. The inside of the lid includes a suedel covered block to ensure it stays in place, and allows the box to stand up comfortably without the cover slipping off.

There will also be a brass display stand on offer should the owners want to purchase for their copy.

The book is printed by Nomad Letterpress with two colours on 145gsm Liber Charta. 

Handbound by Ludlow Bookbinders, the front and back of the boards have an incredible 194 separate leather onlays (with raised leather in between) making up a mosaic of the amethyst obelisk.

There are 5 different colours of leather onlay used, Blackberry, Ivory, Duckegg, Hydrainger and Purple, all of finest harmatan leather.

The endpapers are unique to each book, and have all been hand marbled by Freya Scott and her team at Paperwilds. Despite similar colour palettes the designs are all different.

The book is gilded gold on all three sides with purple tailbands and ribbon.

It is signed by both the author and the artist.
