Hamewith by Charles Murray, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Charles Murray's Hamewith, first published in 1900, is a collection of poems in the Doric Scots of Aberdeenshire. Written while Murray was working as an engineer in South Africa, the poems look homeward, as the title says, to the people, farms and seasons of north-east Scotland. Warm, humorous and full of feeling, it remains a much-loved book of Scots verse.
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.
