Binding my William: The book

Mijn oog viel op een prachtige uitgaven van King Lear  door de Circle Press, met negen originele etsen van Christopher Kent. Ondanks het feit dat het boek al van 1973 stamt, is het nog steeds betoverend mooi. Het papier, de druk, de bladspiegel en niet te vergeten 9 schitterende etsen,.. Alles aan dit boek is schitterend uitgevoerd,.. nu nog een passende binding.

In the announcement of the International Bookbinding Competition 2013 you could read the following:

It is with great pleasure that Designer Bookbinders announces the 2nd International Bookbinding Competition in association with Mark Getty and the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford. There will be no ‘set book’. Instead the competition will have the theme of Shakespeare. The binder may choose any edition of Shakespeare’s work in any language. They can choose his dramas, his poetic works, a single play or a collected volume, or a text relating to his life and work.
