Just before the end of the celibration year I bind the "Gedichten" by Elsschot. This is a bibliophile edition from Atelier Ganzeweide. As a bookbinder I cut with regret the beautifull hides of goatleather. The shape of this hides are artworks on his own. For binding this "Gedichten" I tryed to use the natural shape and make a "full leather binding" in the most literal sense. The blind impressions are a metaphor for Willem Elsschots the sober and clear style of writing.
