As a book shop and bindery, we are constantly fielding questions about : what to look for when collecting? How to get started? What makes a binding special? and so on. These discussions are exciting and we are always happy to help share some wisdom with other book enthusiasts - but there just isn't enough time in the day! That is why we are happy to announce that we are now on Patreon! Our staff are hard at work putting together an exciting and informative catalogue of conte...nt, just for you. Every week, we will feature articles, photos and videos on current projects, guides to collecting and videos designed to shed some insight into the binding process (box building, gold tooling and painting, etc.).

Oodles of orders heading out of the shop today. It is bittersweet to say goodbye to such great titles!

What a difference a bit of colour makes!

Nothing goes together like vellum and gold! The Admirable Crichton by J.M. Barrie. Limited edition, beautifully illustrated and signed by the illustrator.

Dating from 1755, Sculptura follows the history and art of engraving in copper, detailing the works of masters and their techniques. Beautifully restored, this second edition is a perfect addition to any collection.

The Works of Surtees, five vols beautifully bound and illustrated first editions. Half green Morocco bindings by Zaehnsdorf.

Love the way this looks on the shelf, but these books were made for reading! Proud to offer the Humourist in our shop. Heavily illustrated with rare first edition of Vol. 1.

Happy mummies day. https://www.ecrarebooks.com//sulle-mummie-di-venzone-marco
