Books always hold the best secrets but this rare copy of Rudyard Kipling’s Stalky & Co holds a magical secret and it’s not in the story! This copy has rare fore edge painting and it’s not immediately obvious.
The workmanship in the books of the past is something to behold and not even the most beautiful Folio edition today can hold a candle to some of the books of the past.
Even without the fore-edge painting, this Kipling book is beautiful, oxblood, leather bound, gilt trimmed with gilt trimmed pages, but the best bit isn’t visible when you glance at the book.
Just look what happens as the pages are moved!
