This wedding guest book was created for a couple getting married in Columbus, Ohio.  They wanted the Columbus skyline on the front cover, so, working from a photograph, I created a raised design of the skyline with buildling silhouettes reflected in a park lake in the foreground.  This book has 50 pages of unlined paper that are 11" wide by 8" tall.  This resulted in a thin book around 1/4" thick.  The cover is burgundy pigskin leather worked down over the raised skyline design by hand.  The couple's names and wedding date were added using moveable metal type, hot foil stamping, and silver stamping foil.  The word "guests" is stamped on the spine in silver foil.

A book like this would cost around $285.
