In “Limp bindings from Tallinn” I present eight books from the City Archives in Tallinn, with extensive technical descriptions. In the Gallery, I have asked eight Swedish and Estonian bookbinders to create their own variants, using the originals as points of departure.

In designing this book, I have drawn inspiration from medieval works as regards layout, headings and illustrations. The illustrations are by Jordi Arkö. The book is printed in English and consists of 43 pages. The offset-printed edition is out of print. A limited unbound edition is available.

 

The book can be ordered by e-mail to: monica@langwe.se
Price: 40 EUR, $ 53, £ 34 incl of VAT.
Postage: Europe 6 EUR, £ 5 and non- Europe adresses  $ 7.50
I use Pay Pal for payment on orders.

I present eleven books from the Vatican Library with extensive technical descriptions. You will also read about the Vatican Library, Archives and bookbinding.

This time, in the Gallery, I have asked eleven book artists from Europe and the US to create their own variants, using the originals as departure points.

Also designing this book, I have been inspired by medieval works as regards layout, headings and illustrations.

Not yet published.
