Redefining a classic

Move your current coffee-table books aside, because the dictionary has gone designer.

Graphic Image, a company specializing in leather-bound goods, has refreshed the face of the classically worn and weathered reference book. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary is now available in bright, hand-stained leather colors, including pink, red, yellow gold, robin's egg blue and brown crocodile ($156 each). Personalization is available, as is a companion thesaurus ($144) in red, brown or pink. See www.graphicimage.com for details; call 1-800-232-5550, ext. 200, for the closest Minnesota retailer or to order.
