The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1903, W. E. B. Du Bois's collection of essays declared that the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line. He describes the "double consciousness" of Black Americans, writes about education, Reconstruction and the spirituals he called the Sorrow Songs, and challenges Booker T. Washington's approach. A foundational work of American thought.
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.
