Fox's Book of Martyrs by John Foxe, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. First published in 1563, John Foxe's history of Christian martyrs became one of the most influential books of the English Reformation. It recounts the persecution of believers from the early church onward, especially the Protestants burned under Queen Mary I, such as Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer. For centuries it stood beside the Bible in English churches.
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.
