We are going to recap some of the bookish things we've seen during these past few weeks while Stepan was visiting Russia. Museums, books markets, ancient manuscripts, artists' books, and more!
We continue our series of inspiring bookbinding projects with several new objects. All these books (not only books) are quite different, but the thing that unites them is that there is something special about every single one of them.
Dame Judi Dench, actress and the president of the Brontë Society, supported the Society's call to crowdfund the institution's bid for the second issue of Charlotte Brontë’s Young Men's Magazine at an auction in November.
I like to write about bookish finds that happen to me when I visit bookshops and book markets home in the Netherlands and while traveling. But this miniature volume and I met at my wife's parents’ home in Moscow.
While looking for something interesting at a flea market in Cannes, I stumbled upon these miniature books. I knew nothing about them at the moment, but it was pretty obvious they are some sort of pocket calendars.
Right opposite the entrance to our quarter in Leiden there's an old books shop. In the window passers by can see lots of book-earrings with marbled covers.
