The Ludlow Library

Beautifully bound versions of literary favourites.

Bound in traditional style, in fine leather, each volume is top edge gilded in gold, there are corresponding head and tail bands, whilst the title and author are foil blocked on to labels which are then affixed to the spine.

Where we can, we have used Folio Society books as they are well printed, on good quality paper and are thread section sewn.

They look fabulous in any setting!

The following sets are for sale: all prices include delivery to a UK mainland address.
