Upgrading with leather

This very nice pair of reprints of the Lewis and Clark journals was boxed in a cheap red slipcase. Perhaps diminishing the value of the set in the eyes of a pure collector, the choice here was to discard the paper covered box and create this new leather slipcase in beige. The fine qualities of the books now show to best advantage.

In the foreground is a nicely printed contemporary copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Burgundy and beige leather turned this common copy of a classic story into a fine gift.
