The Bindery has had a particular focus on producing onlay designs this year. We are very excited to feature for the first time our new onlay designs for Tender is the Night , War of the Worlds , and The Tiger who Came to Tea , alongside some of our popular designs, such The Hobbit , The Old Man and the Sea , and Five on a Treasure Island . From the initial design stages to the delicate work of assembling the interlocking pieces, creating onlays is a painstaking and intricate process. The onlay work alone for The Hobbit took 35 hours, before any of the binding work was executed. Each piece is an individual work of art, created using the best materials and finished by hand. We have also been fortunate this year to work on some wonderful private commissions, working closely with clients to advise them on how best to bring their vision to life. One such project this year was our collaboration with Waterstones to produce a unique copy of Anthony Doerr’s All The Light We Cannot See (opposite) with a stunning onlay design.
