The Crowd by Gustave Le Bon, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. First published in 1895, Gustave Le Bon's study argues that people in a crowd lose their individuality and reason, becoming impulsive, suggestible and swayed by images and slogans. Its insights into collective behaviour influenced Freud and generations of political leaders and advertisers. A founding work of social psychology.
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.
