Breathless
Dear Sam,
Your letter arrived yesterday, about fifteen minutes ahead of the books. When I unwrapped them my breath was taken away. I should be used to it by now, but the brilliance of your work still knocks me out. To say that I am delighted is a huge understatement. The Clarendon has so many exquisite, subtle details. The blind tooling on the covers and the edges brought a big smile to my face. The balance between the blind tooling and the gold leaf work is superb, a resraint that can only be called "classic." The Burckhardt ["History of the Renaissance"] is also a smashing success. I love the gold-embossed cover design, right out of the period. On the shelf the spine announces the work within just perfectly....thank you for all the extra trouble that is required to arrive at such terrific results!
Michael
Hello Sam -
Words can't describe how pleased I am with The Red badge of Courage. The rebinding cane out much better than I expected.
Best,
Don
