Books, as much as experiences, change my life, and I decided to make a limited collection of all the books I read and loved. And maybe you also will find in my collection a book that you enjoyed, and it even might have influenced your life.

The book is a soft cover which I recycle and transform into a limited edition, personalized hardback with leather cover, designed and made by me. First, I prepare the book by embedding cotton cords into the spine. Adding 2 mm wood boards to the front and back. And reinforcing everything with cloth. To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and which what I did here I used this art with a Jewish man immobilized in a concrete thumb with the Christian cross. But not giving up, and holding onto his Jewish identity by improvising the Star of David. The background is a desolate and barren landscape, which relates to the destruction of World War 2. For me, this image symbolizes the plight of people like Victor Frankl in the holocaust, and reflects the message of hope in the book. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book.
The book is beautiful. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don’t snooze, or you might lose.

I will make a total of 100 editions. Each one will be initialed by me and numbered. The numbers will go in chronological order from 2 up, since number 1 stays with me.

Returns: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted. But you can contact me if there is any problem with your order.

Colors: Since I make each item to order, the color might vary from the pictures. It depends on how the inks mix and how they react with leather.

Shipping: I make each item to order, and it takes a few weeks, since I need to find the book first. I go to the post office once a week. Estimated delivery time is about two weeks, but it depends on the postal service and customs. And occasionally there are delays, and it might take a month or so to arrive.
