LETTERED EDITION

SIGNED BY PIERCE BROWN

MARC SIMONETTI & JOEL DANIEL PHILLIPS

LIMITED TO 52 COPIES

$2750.00

How do you top the Numbered Edition? You produce a Lettered Edition, and for the first time this is limited to 52 copies (rather than 26). This is the tier that screams high-end master-bookbinding. It does of course come with all the interior artwork of the other tiers, but on an even better quality of mouldmade paper. It’s housed in a full leather solander clamshell traycase using the finest materials. The book itself has been “bradel bound”, a particularly beautiful and delicate way to attach the spine material to the books boards. The front board has been subtly blindstamped with a custom Red Rising inspired design with 6 pieces of Antique Burgandy leather onlay of the Howler sigil.

DETAILS:

Printed in two colours on a Heidelberg Windmill letterpress by the master printers at Nomad Letterpress (Cheltenham, UK) on Liber Charta 115gsm mouldmade paper.

Bradel bound with black harmattan leather on the spine, with cream leather boards and handbound by Ludlow Bookbinders. The boards have 6 pieces of Roxburgh antique burgundy leather onlay and a blind stamped design surrounding.

The spine is rounded with two raised bands with gold hand-tooling on either side. The author name and title are hot foil stamped in red metallic foil with a blind stamped pillar towards the base. We have utilised a red leather head and tailband on the book with a red ribbon, and the pages are gilded in gold on all three sides. The endpapers are handmarbled with a design to accentuate the bindings.

Enclosed in a handmade solander case by Ludlow Bookbinders. The case is made from black leather with more burgundy onlay to the front and back, with the trays lined in sumptuous “tomate” suede by Winter & Company. The spine has a burgundy leather label inset into the box with white foil stamping.
