Foligno in Particolare
by Lanfranco Radi and Lorenzo Radi

I loved this book so much I made a second copy, which shows that there is more than one way of binding the same book.

The book as it looks on the bookshelf. Once again, the spine you are seeing is not that of the book, but of its slipcase

Slipcase opened to reveal the soft suede interior and the cover of the book. As you can see it is very different from the first one, though the basic idea - using an illustration from the book itself - is the same

This is interesting, as it shows that when I start from a paperback, the original cover is actually preserved and bound within the decorative hardcover. This is also true for the original spine and back covers.
