The Hidden Life of Trees in Green Bonded Leather by Graphic Image

Peter Wohlleben’s account of forest life takes an illustrated form in this photographic edition of The Hidden Life of Trees. Abridged selections from the original text sit alongside close studies and expansive views of trees around the world. The green bonded leather binding echoes the subject without competing with the photographs.

“I would open this beside a comfortable chair rather than leave it closed on display; the close-up photographs invite a slower look than the cover alone suggests.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust the closed volume gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, working away from the spine. Handle with clean, dry hands, support both covers when reading and use a bookmark rather than folding a page. Keep away from splashes, direct sunlight and radiators; store upright with gentle support, or flat if the volume is large. Do not apply household polish, oils or leather dressing to the binding.

Maker / Heritage

Graphic Image began with Bennett Glazer’s attention to typography and the leather diaries he designed in 1977. His earlier work as the Franklin Library’s first design director gave the company its grounding in collectible bookbinding. A long collaboration with Tiffany & Co. included developing signature blue leathers from French and Italian tanneries, a revealing example of how closely the company considers color and finish. That same care connects its books, albums and home accessories. The aim is a familiar object worth handling and sharing, with a binding or leather surface that invites it into daily life.
