The client of Dracula came in to pick up her restored books last week, but she left Dracula with me. As the first edition Dracula and its original cloth/paper covers should be kept together securely, the client decided that a slipcase should be made to house them both. The set of original covers is basically a mere paper, so I made a separate folder for it as well. The only thing the client said to me in terms of design was, "As long as you don't use a color like beige or something out of place, whatever you do should be adequate." Well, in order to be perfectly safe, I could just make everything in black buckram and call it quits, but it just seemed too boring. So I accented a couple of minor sections in lipstick red, and lined the folder with black silk moire which has sort of like, a tuxedo feel to it. I hope she approves of what I chose..
