Euthyphro by Plato, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. In this short dialogue, set just before Socrates's own trial, Socrates meets Euthyphro, who is prosecuting his own father, at the courthouse. Socrates asks him what piety really is, and leads him to the famous question: is something pious because the gods love it, or do the gods love it because it is pious? An ideal introduction to Plato.
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.
