Bookbinding beauty
Princeton University Library's special collection of antique handcrafted bookbindings is utterly amazing. It's a shame that more books today aren't published with such artistry. I'd definitely buy "special editions" of my favorite books. Pictured, a 15th century edition of De civitate Dei, Venetian binding, blind-tooled goatskin.
