Only Squirrel Nutkin and The Tailor of Gloucester were to get the de-luxe binding. The idea of a special edition came from Warne. Potter went to considerable trouble to source the material from her grandfather's old firm, Edmund Potter & Co, Manchester. Eventually she was satisfied "rather quaint, especially one like pansies". And it was this flower pattern which was eventually chosen for the de-luxe binding of The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin and The Tailor of Gloucester.
