Der Struwwelpeter (German Edition) by Heinrich Hoffmann, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Heinrich Hoffmann's Der Struwwelpeter in the original German, first published in 1845.

One of the most famous picture books ever made, and a delight for readers of German.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
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.
