This is a hand-sized (A6) book of the four Christian Gospels, which has been hand-stitched and bound in veg-tanned calfskin that I have dyed and tooled myself. It has hand-stitched headbands, made printed marbled endpages that have been waxed with beeswax, one ribbon marker, speckled edges, and "HOLY GOSPELS" gold foiled on the spine.
This book of Gospels contains the Authorized or King James translation of the Gospels, which is in the public domain outside the UK and can be found here: https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/King-James-V...
The Gospels are digitally printed on 90 gsm Munken Pure paper in archival-quality pigment ink, with a content description in the header.
Approximate size, metric: 159 x 116 x 20 mm.
Approximate size, imperial: 6.2 x 4.6 x 0.8 inches.
Total pages: 263 pages of text, plus 5 extra.
Please note that this book is being sold at a discounted price. It is a split board binding that is sewn on bands, which is a more traditional and labour-intensive binding than my usual case bindings, with the book block and the cover forming one unit. However, because it is one of my first attempts at this form, there are some imperfections, notably that the endpages have been reinforced at the spine - see the photo. The foiling of the title and the tooling of the title label is also less than perfect.
