Bill Clinton presentation Volume

Frank McCourt - The Teacher Man


We were brought on board  to create and design a leather bookbox to contain Frank McCourts  The Teacher Man. We bound Solander boxes in quarter goatskin leather, raised bands on the spine, gold tooling. A personalised inscription page in handmade paper on the inside of the box. 
These were sent to America and presented personally to benefactors by ex American President Bill Clinton at a fund raising dinner in New York. Bill launched the Frank Mc Court Chair in Creative writing, which will based in the University of Limerick, Ireland.
