Pictorial Webster’s by Quercus Press

Watch as John Carrera of Quercus Press transforms engravings from 19th century Webster’s dictionaries into a handmade work of bookish art.

The handmade editions are expensive, naturally, but a trade edition is available from Chronicle Books for $35. Chronicle Books is also giving away one of the leather-bound editions—enter the contest here before November 15th.  See sample pages and more about the project at Quercus Press.
