![]() ![]() ![]() As it turned out, I received an enthusiastic response. Before I got too far into it, I had some prototypes made and decided to put the idea out to some Stephen King fans via the forum and see if anyone else was interested in getting a copy. After some time, I settled on a bookbinder who was enthusiastic about the project. I also had to come up with a way to do it that wouldn’t cost thousands, but was still unique and desirable. Basically something that might resemble dragon skin. ![]() The obvious choice was to go with a leather that is engraved with a reptilian pattern. I thought it would be fun to buy some copies of the 1st edition published by Viking in 1987 and rebind it. I procrastinated for months, then early in 2016 I got things started by contacting a few bookbinders with my ideas. For some time I have wanted to do something with The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King because the book has special meaning to me. Rebound books can range in cost from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for high-end designer bindings. When it comes to rebinding books, you are limited only by what you can imagine, and how much money you have to invest. I really admire and respect the work of hand bookbinders. ![]()
