This is one of the 20 unbound copies that has now been bound in full leather. The following is from the bookbinder: I bought this unbound copy of Wrenching Times from Gwasg Gregynog via my Tutor & Master Bookbinder, Maureen Duke, in 1991 while studying bookbinding in Surrey, England. It stayed wrapped, and unbound until 2010. I used Irish Hemp Chord to hand sew the text using sunk in chords, Irish silk thread, which I heavily coated with beeswax, was used for the stitching. Binders board, hand cut to the millimeter. Headbands, mull and acid-free paper line the spine. English linen hinges. Nigerian goat skin leather, the cut used up most of a skin. Acid free, handmade endpapers are from France, the fnest and most elegant i've been able to find in many years. 22K gold from Africa was used for the tooling, the letters and line tooling were all done by hand. The slipcase is made of binders board, lined with acid free paper and covered with Canadian Linen cloth. $2000.00 Vintage paperbacks. Will have a large number of vintage paperbacks from the 1940's in very fine condition.
