Custom Dark Carnival

I acquired a beat-up copy of Dark Carnival. No dust jacket, severely bumped & stained boards. Calling it a reader copy would have been kind. I was turned onto Dragonfly Bindery in Rhode Island…a continent away from me. Once they were turned loose this is what I now have. Three dimensional cut pieces of leather and gilt.

Gilt is a good word. And this is as lovely as you described it. That's one bad bat.

I'll have it with me on Saturday, so I can show it off to you in person. Is this considered bragging?

And how much does it roughly cost to have something like that done? Very neat.

Dragonfly Bindery of Rhode Island. I just told them my favorite story in the book and she took it from there.

The rough cost depends on the amount of detail. The price of this one began with a two...roughly.
