"The Legend of the Blood Sphere": leather on boards with copper plate etchings

The Legend of the Blood Sphere displays an extraordinary range of technical achievements with two-color etchings, careful selection of font to support the layout, and hand bound leather on boards. The cornerpieces, made of the same copper plate used for the etchings, give the reader a hint of what lies inside. The selection of materials all support the composition of this ambitious book.
