«Those
papers, those long forgotten parchments were waiting for a new birth.
Those papers were not papers but Men's lives... »
Jules Michelet (1798-1874)

The book
The text
Nicolas Herson-Macarel is
an expert
and a French history lover and he is a ... novelist. That's why he will
make the point of giving life to your family account according to the
utmost tradition of historical novels and he will know how to make you
share the joys and the pains, the modest as well as the incredible
adventures experienced by your ancestors.
Far from the cold and dry accounts of genealogists, your Family Roots
Book will be lively and warm.
The illustrations
Your Family
Roots Book will be greatly illustrated with modern as well as
old photographs, with the copies of old engravings and cards, with
original drawings by André Jouineau, a famous historian and
drawer.
A specific care will be given to the composition of iconographical
elements in order to match them with the text.
The work

The Jean de Bonnot publishing house carries on the tradition of
beautiful leather-bound books, with gilded edges(22-carats gold).
Your Family Roots Book will be made of old manufactured paper, with a
full leather binding, "dorés sur tranche à la
feuille
d’or, aux coins rempliés à la
main et à
l’os de bœuf, avec des décors aux fers
gravés
et ciselés à la main, des signets,
tranchefiles,
lettrines et des culs de lampes originaux."
These terms of the French traditional binding industry refer to the art
of the “à l'ancienne” printing
which will be
used for your Family Roots Book.
