Libri Multi Small Notebook with Gold Leaf - The Game of Love and Chance

The cover of Le Jeu de l'Amour et du Hasard — Marivaux's 18th century comedy of love and mistaken identity — is rendered in the delicate Rococo manner: trailing garlands of pink berries and green leaves frame the title on a blush ground, the gold leaf of the binding extending onto the cover itself. Part of Slow's Libri Muti (Mute Books) series, this smaller-format edition is made entirely by hand in Florence using traditional printing and bookbinding techniques that Founders Roberto di Filitto and Nathalie Schneider have spent years researching and reviving.

The binding spine is covered in gold leaf, the page edges hand-coloured in pink. Pages are PEFC-certified and acid-free.
