Entertaining Book in Slate Blue Pebble Leather by Graphic Image

Menus, seating plans and the details worth remembering come together in this slate blue leather entertaining book. Cream-white, acid-free pages have gilt edges, and a satin ribbon marks the place. It is a useful record of gatherings, from a successful supper menu to the contacts that made a larger party easier.

“I would note what was served and who sat beside whom soon after the evening; those small details are what make the book useful when the next invitation is planned.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust the closed volume gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, working away from the spine.

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.
