“One of the best kept secrets amongst serious antique book collectors has been the Book Art of Fore-Edge Painting. Under the gilded edge of a book lies a handpainted watercolor that only appears when the book is fanned. Once released, it then magically disappears back into the gold.” – Martin Frost
