LONGS-ROULLET BOOKBINDERS
David Lange writes: "Alain Roullet was the binder for the
first edition of my Buffalo Nickel book. The entire print run
was perfect bound, so all hardcover copies were produced
after the fact, being ordered as needed. Alain was recommended
to me by my publisher, and he created several varieties of
cloth bindings in red, brown and black, respectively. This was
not my intent, but he evidently used whatever colors were
available when an order was placed. The font size for the title
also varied, particularly with the brown covers, which were
produced in slightly greater numbers.I also commissioned him to create the deluxe edition. This
consisted of just six copies bound in leather, with actual Buffalo
Nickels mounted heads and tails on the front cover. While
these books certainly gained some novelty and rarity value,
I elected to go with a more conventional presentation for my
later books. I found Alain's work to be satisfactory, given the
reasonable cost, but I've used Alan Grace for all subsequent
bindings. The coins on the cover idea was never repeated."- 2003-05-25
