Wilfredo A. Geigel, whose studio is located in his home in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, started binding classes ten years ago in the Ada Diaz de Rojas bindery
with Johnny Rojas. He has taken classes and workshops with Frank Mowery, Eleanor
Ramsey, Tini Miura, Monique Lallier, and Edwin Heym.
Full beige leather binding in the French tradition with one
window cut and opened on each board framing a photograph taken by the binder
representing the Brazos. The inside cover will be finished in edge to edge
doublures. The top edge will be painted brown to represent the water with
sewn headbands in matching colored threads. The design shows two views of
the Brazos River observed through the windows of a cabin, representing the
author’s belief that "a river has few 'views' . . . your consciousness of
them is visual only if you walk ashore to see them."
Homer. The Odyssey of Homer. Illustrated by Barry Moser. Full blue leather binding in the French tradition with the design of an ancient Greek ship tooled in blind
across top and bottom boards with gilded star constellations on top and bottom boards. Edge to edge doublures blind tooled.
Top edge in graphite, sewn headbands with three color silk threads.
