Notes
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien.
Leather Book Cover and Binding (1997) by Philip Smith.
“This is the third in a set of nine bindings of this title commissioned to represent a high point or crisis in the life of one of the nine characters comprising the Fellowship of the Ring. This is Legolas the elf being introduced by Gimli the dwarf to the glories of the glittering caves of Aglarond behind Helm’s Deep. The book edges of the set all have paintings continuing the visual elements of the bindings and growing out from the sewn endbands.”
Simply stunning work!

Notes
The Tempest by William Shakespeare
Leather Book Cover/Binding (1979-80) by Philip Smith.
The binding is covered in goatskin, with maril and feather onlays.
So much work must have gone into crafting this… it’s wonderfully beautiful.
