The Gilded Library

Made to be given.

Most of our covers follow a house standard, and follow it deliberately: a shelf of them should read as a shelf. These do not. Each volume in the Gilded Library was given its own art program — its own palette, its own motif, its own gilt titling drawn for that book and no other. They are the editions to reach for when the book is a present rather than a purchase.
