Binding Books & Royal Bindings - First Complete English Edition of Don Quixote, Cervantes, in the two parts.

My choice of binding for this book was originally in a "Spanish Renaissance" style, but just like Samuel Pepys, this customer was insistant on a William Nott style, even after explaining that it is a much smaller book and the tooling cannot be reduced on the width to fit, the reply came back......."Not a problem for you though.. is it Son?"
A little less genteel than Pepys I thought!
