HISTORY/DESCRIPTION: EGGESTEIN IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST BOOK PRINTERS IN STRASBOURG. EGGESTEIN WAS IN THE PRINTING BUSINESS FOR 25 YEARS WITH HIS FIRST LARGE PRINTING JOB BEING A LATIN BIBLE IN 1466. IN 1470 HE PRINTED A PAMPHLET THAT ADVERTISED HIS WORKS, THIS IS WHERE HE PROMOTED THE EGGESTEIN BIBLE. HE PRINTED THIS BIBLE IN BOTH LATIN AND GERMAN.

REPRODUCTION DETAILS: OUR HARDCOVER BOOKS ARE MADE WITH REAL WOOD FOR THE INTERIOR OF THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS AS WELL AS THE SPINE. THE LEATHER IS A 4 OZ COWHIDE, FROM A SMALL SUPPLIER IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE LEATHER IS ADHERED TO THE COVERS WITH GLUE AND MOLDED INTO THE SHAPE AT THE HAND OF OUR LOCAL ARTISANS. THE SIGNATURES/PAGES ARE HANDSEWN USING A LIBRARY BINDING METHOD. THE SEWN BOOK IS BOUND WITH A STRONG ADHESIVE GLUE THAT MAKES THE BINDINGS LAST, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LARGER BOOKS. WE ALSO ADD A THICK MULL CLOTH TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BINDING, DRYING IN BETWEEN EACH LAYER, A TRADITIONAL WAY TO MAKE THE BINDING STIFF, STRONG, AND RESILIENT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

NOTE: ALL OF OUR FACSIMILES ARE MADE TO ORDER. PLEASE ALLOW 4-6 WEEKS FOR NOTIFICATION OF SHIPMENT.
