Mary Shelley’s ’Frankenstein’ - Bookbinding by Dimitri
“I wanted the binding to convey the essence of the story, that its mere view could tell you what’s inside, to be intrigued by it. And what would be more iconic for the specific book than to be bound from leather scraps stitched together? I searched at the drawer where I keep leftovers of the leathers I use and took up random pieces. I wasn’t picky, I even chose some with minor stains, and most of the pieces vary in their texture, from smooth to porous to buffed ones. I wanted something a bit “messy” and just a hint gross.
Last but not least, I wanted something really special for the endpapers, so I found some anatomy notes from 1830 and Voila!”

Video reblogged from Cinderella in Rubber Shoes
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience.
This is probably one of the best book trailers I’ve ever seen. It’s written and directed by Ransom Riggs himself.
UPDATE! Rumor has it that Tim Burton is in early talks of directing a movie adaptation of this book! :)
