That's a good looking book. I might have paid more attention and considered getting it in the standard state if I had noticed one of the stories (at least peripherally?) involved one of my most admired American peoples, the Lakota, and one set in the Palestine. I might have to seek out those two stories to read. I haven't read Mamet.
On the craft side, is the spine label wrapping around to the back board more than the front board, or is that just an artifact of the photo angle?

If hou look at the very last photo you can see that the spine label is perfect. In the earlier photos the leather has warped slightly when the book has been opened flat and face down.

Thanks for the wonderful photographs as always. A truly lovely production! The illustrations are "simple" but beautiful and add so much. The bite is perfect. If there are any problems with the spine or anything else you can always contact Thornwillow, they stand behind their products and will fix any issues.
