Book excerpt: Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. The cover image is based on a detail from 'Rosa Celeste: Dante and Beatrice gaze upon the highest Heaven. The Empyrean'. Engraved illustration by Gustave Dore (1832-83), for Canto XXXI of Purgatory and Paradise. Henry Francis Carey's translated edition of Dante Alighier's The Divine Comedy (Thompson & Thomas, 1902).
