Bidding has started for the annual AbeBooks Charity Book Auction.
AbeBooks teamed up with Penguin again this year who have provided a wonderful set of 6 leather-bound modern classic novels, created by Bill Amberg - one of the world’s top designers of leather goods.
Amberg selected six of his favourite modern novels and bound them in soft, brown calf leather. The books are The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, A Room with a View by EM Forster, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote. Each book has an integrated leather bookmark and is boxed with a belly-band. The collection comes complete with a Bill Amberg-designed leather carrying case and the initials of the winning bidder will be stamped on to the luggage tag. Each book is signed by Amberg.
There are 9 Lots to bid for, including a signed copy of the following titles:
- The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz,
- On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan,
