Collaborative Coptic
This book is a collaboration between my father, Stephen Hogbin, and myself. Stephen offered me the covers with a package of wood that I had requested for my medieval and Coptic bindings. I knew instantly how the book needed to be made.
The wood is birch plywood and was decorated by Stephen in a classic Hogbin design. It is bound in the Coptic style with linen thread by me using four separate needles. The pages are Tiziano, a heavy weight Italian paper by Fabriano.
This book measures 6.5" tall and is 5" wide. It sells for $70. Each cover is a little different, please email me for pictures of the covers that I have in stock.
