Dr. Elsie Inglis by Lady Frances Balfour, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Written soon after Elsie Inglis's death in 1917, Lady Frances Balfour's biography tells the life of the Scottish surgeon and suffragist who founded the Scottish Women's Hospitals during the First World War. When the War Office turned her away, she sent women's medical units to Serbia and Russia, where she worked until shortly before her death. An inspiring life.
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.
