The cover is pure Bure silk, imported from India. We have bound our books in many extraordinary styles, but none so authentically exotic as Seven Years in Tibet. Six gravure plates made from photographs by the author. Seven Years in Tibet offers rare insights into Tibet's mysticism and beauty which Harrer's photogravures, produced from the original negatives, further illuminate. He and the Dalai Lama remained lifelong friends. Harrer became the unofficial secular tutor to the Dalai Lama when His Holiness was fourteen years old.
