Export regions

Fine books stand out for a desirable text, careful printing, illustrations or an elaborate binding. Gilding, engravings and coats of arms can make a volume an object for display as well as reading.

Collectors and wealthy readers seek them for their libraries. Printers, engravers and binders contribute different parts of the finished work. Packed in chests for the journey, a sought-after edition or handsome binding may command attention as soon as the bookseller lays it on the counter.
