another notable book cover


The cover of this book Lighthouses of South Africa is again notable not for the picture that is used, but the material that it has been printed on: a silky type fabric, very 'touchy feely' and has a semi-metallic lustre.  The titles are stamped into it.

The book itself is a nicely designed, all-colour hardback pictorial of 51 of the lighthouses around the South African coast, 384 pages in all, although it would have benefited from a larger format than its 200 mm (about 8 inch) square size.
