On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1859, Charles Darwin's book set out the theory that species evolve over generations through natural selection. Drawing on his voyage aboard HMS Beagle and decades of careful observation of pigeons, barnacles and much else, it ends with his famous vision of endless forms most beautiful. Few books have changed our understanding of life so profoundly.
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.
