Full Pentland Goatskin binding with chiyogami paper inlays, gauffered and coloured edges, blind and gold leaf tooling. Suede lined and foil tooled box.

The design of the binding is in response to the highly patterned and textural illustrations by Mikki Lee. The use of chiyogami papers, combining paper inlays with leather, the layering of patterns with blind and gold tooling, gauffering, and handmade paper doublures were all chosen to echo the stylised imagery used throughout, creating multiple tactile experiences when handling the book.
