Gah! This is the sweetest! This is the book Larkin showed in the live video this morning before it had been oxidized and polished! This is made entirely out of copper and brass sheet metal, plus silver solder. It is hollow, so quite lightweight.

The copper cover is textured to look like aged leather, and the brass name plates are polished bright. The texture of the pages was created by scoring brass sheet metal with a knife blade. And yes, that *is* a jaunty little bookmark.

It's tiny! Measures 3cm tall (including the bookmark), 2.3 cm wide, and 0.8 cm thick.
