Books By The Foot
The expression "books by the foot" sounds a bit odd to designers at first. After all, most of us are use to buying books based on the quality of the text and/or the reputation of the author.
If you want a book that you can read, enjoy and then toss aside, then head to your nearest bookstore. If, on the other hand, you are in the market for beautiful antique volumes whose appearance is more important than the actual text, then you've come to the right place. We specialize in decorative leather books. From leather-bound foreign novels to gilt-accented antique texts, our books serve as magnificent design elements.
We don't actually sell the books by the foot, although some designers refer to them as books by the foot or books by the yard, as they are usually trying to fill a certain number of feet in a bookshelf. You will find sellers that sell books by the foot but please beware. These companies usually have a low quality, high volume approach to filling bookcase shelves. At DecorativeLeatherBooks.com we inspect each and every book as it is being packed. We carefully apply a coat of premium book preservation oil, which we import from Sweden. We take pride in our books and want to assure that your purchase will enhance any design project and retain the charm for centuries to come.
