Description: Enter 36 Hours World, a roundup of 150 cities across six continents, each tailored for a memorable and feasible 36-hour stay. Gathered from the eponymous New York Times column, this edition is dedicated entirely to cities. Beautiful book for your coffee table.The book is a soft cover which I recycle and transform into a limited edition, personalized hardback with leather cover, designed and made by me. First, I prepare the book by embedding cotton cords into the spine. Adding 2 mm wood boards to the front and back. And reinforcing everything with cloth. To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and what I did here, for the front, I chose the image with distinct landmarks from some of the world's great cities. On the back, as the background, I used water colored map of the world. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book.The book is beautiful. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don’t snooze, or you might lose.Book - NYT 36 Hours World 150 Cities from Abu Dhabi to ZurichSize- 11.5 x 10 inches (29 x 26 cm).Pages - 768If you would like more information about this title, this is the original book's ISBN 978-3836575331If you are interested in a different title, send me a message and I will give you a quote.You can see the video of how I make the book cover in the link belowhttps://youtu.be/WUC2lGlsgGEReturns: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted.
