R. L. Allan New Classic Readers Commemorative Edition in Antique Mahogany Goatskin: Photos by Jesus Saenz

The R. L. Allan New Classic Readers Commemorative Edition ESV features one of the most beautiful bindings I have seen from the Allan shop, a natural grain antique mahogany goatskin whose exquisite color variation is highlighted in these photos courtesy of Jesus Saenz. The edition was limited to 150 copies. Enjoy the photos ... and if you have one of these, let us know what you think. -- JMB _JSP9255 _JSP9259 _JSP9263 _JSP9270 _JSP9285 _JSP9296 _JSP9299 _JSP9303 _JSP9308 _JSP9311 _JSP9313 _JSP9322 _JSP9317 _JSP9323 _JSP9327 _JSP9329 _JSP9330 _JSP9332 _JSP9333 _JSP9334
