The Millennium Domesday is the final facsimile to be published from the unique example in the Public Record Office. When the original document was stripped of its binding for restoration, each folio was laid flat and photographed with an overhead camera the size of a small car. The work took nine months. Each page was then printed, using a continuous-tone lithographic process, making so exact a copy of the original that the 'hair' side of the old sheepskin folios can be distinguished from the 'flesh' of the reverse. Bound in an authentic replica of the earliest known Domesday binding, The Winton Domesday, The Millennium Edition is numbered and limited to no more than 450 copies.
Overseas shipping is charged at cost.
