A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1880, Mark Twain's comic travel book follows his walking tour of Germany, Switzerland and the Alps, though he rarely walks if a carriage or train is available. Along the way he climbs mountains by telescope, rafts down the Neckar and offers his famous essay on the awful German language. Funny and full of tall tales.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
