Making of the Modern Book at the Library of Congress. Next on deck, Legendre, Hastings and Cooksey

NB: Paul Bonet and Gabby were just referenced in the same sentence with the more effusive praise granted to the brutally wonderful Ms. Cooksey. 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻 @boundbycooksey #bookarts #designbinding #artistbook #artistbooks

Design Binding of the Day: Swift, Jonathan; Cooksey, Gabby. Gulliver's Travels 1950/2022.
Full leather binding, blush red calf skin, leather hinges, brass onlay.
The small volume is his hands, on the beach, still free and waiting for the story to begin.
With the large, Gulliver is pulled into a fight with two rats during his stay at Brobdingnag, killing one and the other flees.
This stunning bit of work weighs in at 23 pounds.
