Limited Edition Hardback

Each element of this edition has been carefully considered. The dark blue binding with gold foil were selected for their prominence in the Grand Lodge logo, while the light blue, textured endpapers were inspired by the ribbon on the Tercentenary Jewel. The text was set in Granjon, a serif typeface designed by freemason and master printer George W. Jones c.1924 based on the roman type designs of Claude Garamond and the italic type designs of Robert Granjon.
