The Fabric of Raleigh and The Fabric of Durham dual front covers The dual front covers of the The Fabric of Raleigh and The Fabric of Durham book

The book features both my The Fabric of Raleigh and The Fabric of Durham series, and each series has its own front cover, making it a reversible – or “flip” – book. The fancy word for this is tête-bêche format. Thus, as both series, and communities, are of equal importance and deserve their own front cover, the two series meet in the middle, mirrored!

Accompanying the more than 40 portraits are behind-the-scenes photos from the making of the portraits, and many essays, stories and quotes.

A Professionally Designed, High-Quality Hardcover Book

The Fabric of Raleigh/The Fabric of Durham is published in collaboration with fine art book publisher Horse & Buggy Press  (Durham, North Carolina), and is designed by Dave Wofford from H&B. Dave has been designing books for over 20 years, many of which have won publishing awards for both their content and for their design and production values.

With a trim size of 11 3/4″ tall by 9″ wide, the casebound (“hardcover”) book is Smyth sewn instead of glued, for strength, durability and making it easier for the spreads to open and lie flat. The images are reproduced via full color offset printing on high-end 102 lb. GardaPat matte coated paper which assures the highest possible quality.
