| Synopsis: |
This beautiful edition of "Treasure Island" is part of a new series offering the best-loved classics in fine volumes, with colourful cloth bindings, and produced to the highest standards for under GBP20. Instead of a dust jacket, the decorated cloth covers have a printed illustration wrapping around the book: this uses gold foiling and printed blue waves strikingly printed on the navy blue cloth background. Among the other elements that differ from standard hardbacks are coloured page tops, decorated endpapers, meticulous line-by-line typesetting, and thicker acid free paper, to give this edition a unique appeal for any lover of adventure stories, in an edition that possesses all the crafted virtues of a good book. The result is quality of design and production that adds to the pleasure of reading. This is for anyone interested in a fine edition of a favourite work, an attractive volume for the bookshelf or an authentic and distinctive present. |
