all things bookish

i received a most amazing gift--that of a handmade book made by my friend's husband.  not only did isaiah write the story, but he drew the illustrations, bound and printed it himself.

he has a fascination, and subsequent business, dealing with rare books and the history therein.  i learned so much by visiting his blog and the most recent post detailing how he made this tome about saint nicholas.

as a story for his children, he published 50 of them and i was fortunate enough to receive number 31 of this first edition labor of love.

it will be vouchsafed with my christmas decor to be brought out and reread every year by the tree and it gives me faith that true artisans are alive and well in the 21st century.

to learn more, you can visit isaiah's blog at:  www.collectiblebook.blogspot.com

beautiful as well as educational!
