The first two books are made and bound in London by a leading Bookbinder with high quality leaves, gold blocked edges to the leaves and watermarked papers inside the front and back covers. I have decided to offer only the half bound leather versions in the best quality as the fully bound version is a lot more expensive and in my opinion not as attractive as the half bound and it is just as strong.

The pictures show the gold linings and half bound features which make for a very nice present in either the small ( 220mm X 160mm ) or the large ( 290mm X 220mm ) version.

The rulings and columns are different in small and large.

The SMALL half bound leather book, as I hope you can see from the photo, has few rulings and wider spacings to allow more scope for photos, drawings and also more space for writing.The remarks space is the complete right side of the two pages - so plenty of room for detail; each book has about 65 pages. This small game book is offered in half bound leather as described, but also in a dark green moc. croc. covering. This book is great value for money and apart from the end covers the gold edged paper, water marked end sheets, rulings etc are exactly the same as the small leather one. The LARGE leather half bound book has the traditional columns for date, place, 10 game columns,total, guns and a large 'comments on the day' . As it is laid out as a line for each days shooting and this book is much wider than the small book so there is plenty of room to record many days shooting -by my reckoning over 400 days.

I suppose with its gold linings, quartered corners and size this book is the quintessential game book and a fantastic gift to the aspiring sportsman or as a continuation in a line of game books for those assiduous record keepers of many, many days in the field. Again we can offer this book with handsome dark green moc. croc.ends, it has exactly the same quality paper pages and rulings as the leather bound large book. It offers fantastic value at almost one third of the price.

Last, but certainly not least is the very large Estate book designed by The present Duke of Northumberland for the Countryside Alliance. At 390mm X 310mm and 60mm thick, this is a work of art with magnificent drawings, paintings and vignettes by fourteen of the best living sporting artists.

Each page has its own picture with themes as diverse as keepers being watched by poachers to pencil drawings of grey partridge chicks , fabulous in its quality of the pictures it has set into each picture a game book leaf with 18 columns for game and a lot of space for photos, drawings, comments and additional information.

This book is bound in leather and canvas ( there is a fully bound leather version ) and very well made; it will give enjoyment in many ways as its pictures are revisited and its contents expanded.If you would like one, please be quick as it is a limited to 600 copies and published in 2006.
