A recent Sherlock Holmes commission produced to a client’s own specification.
The collection combines several very different volumes, from full leather rebinds and a custom slipcase for a signed edition, through to bindings that recreate the appearance of the original books while incorporating leather spines and recessed Holmes medallions.
One of the aspects I enjoy most about commissions like this is working with a client’s ideas and finding practical ways to bring them together into a coherent collection. While the overall direction was established from the outset, there was still plenty of opportunity to develop the details and create something unique to their library.
A varied and enjoyable project to work on.
