7/4/2023 0 Comments Azincourt novelThe introduction is by Bernard Cornwell, author of the historical novel Azincourt, while the book proper is divided into three parts. There are 438 pages, the last one hundred of which are notes, bibliographic, and indexing material. The text is typeset in Bulmer and printed on Abbey Wove paper. The text block is Smyth-sewn with red head and tail bands that nicely complement the blue binding. The volume is presented in a plain blue slipcase that is perhaps a little thin relative to the size and weight of the book. The spine is blocked in gold with the title, author’s name, a fleur-de-lis, an English heraldic lion passant, and the word “Folio”. The design is nice enough, although it’s hard not to wonder how spectacular it would have looked had it been blocked and embellished in gold. The cover is printed with a motif around the letter ‘A’ along with the figure of an English longbowman taken from an illustration in the St Albans Chronicle. The volume is three-quarter bound in blue cloth, with a paper-covered front board.
