Oliver (Nicky, binder).- Bach (Richard) Jonathan Livingston Seagull, later printing, one of 10 copies specially bound each one a different colour, later navy goatskin with repeating seagull motif tooled in blind by Nicky Oliver, upper cover with single seagull in silver, decorative endpapers printed in dark blue with the same seagull pattern, original blue cloth slipcase edged in navy goatskin, 4to, New York, 1970. *** Described by Nicky Oliver as ‘a beautiful book essentially about not conforming to the norm or what is expected of you and learning to “fly” to the beat of your own drum. I wanted to create a binding that mirrored this deep but gentle tale’. She also mentions that 'the printing plate used was handmade – each seagull shape was cut out of stencil board and mounted onto thin card, inked and pulled through an etching press. The design was duplicated onto the front and back boards by using a die block and one seagull was blocked using silver foil on the front cover.’ (Nicky Oliver)
