Binding Notes

Bound in a pea green cloth with a strikingly simple design of a gilt stamped full moon and gilt reflecting mountain sloops outlined in dark green. IN the foreground loom tall sequoia-like trees stamped in dark green, with the entire design enclosed within a gilt border. Two tall trees are stamped the full length of the spine. The effect is that of wilderness and silence. Top edge gilt, deckled edges.
