Francobolli books

Bari Zaki and I have been working on a new edition of the Francobolli line books, to be feature on Bari's e-commerce B'zaar and to be sold to stationery stores around the country. The books are single signature pamphlet stitch, with Murillo Fabriano paper on the cover and Mohawk paper on the text block. The hand-binding presents a lead seal closure and a vintage stamp on the cover. We have been also working for several years on the Francobolli cards line, with Bari's beautiful selection of vintage stamps and my calligraphy. The following are some pictures of the work in progress and the final product of the Francobolli books and cards line.




Ardour Bookbinding based in Chicago, offers a studio sale every fall, in early December. I will post the invitation when time comes closer, if you are in the area,
it is something not be missed!
