LIMITED TO A 3 WEEK PRE-ORDER WINDOW

$100.00

This is the Red Rising “Artist Edition” and it’s easy to see why. The good news is that this one is available to everyone over a 3-week period, and will not sell out the second it goes live. This tier has had just as much attention to detail (if not more) than the letterpress printed higher tiers and we’ve been able to produce what must be the highest spec book at this price point. This edition not only has unique artwork on the bindings and slipcase, but multiple facets of the concept have been designed with all 7 books in mind. That means each release of the artist edition looks better on your shelf with every new release.

DETAILS:

Printed in 4-colour offset lithography on Munken Lynx White Smooth 100gsm by Gomer Press in Llandysul, Wales, this edition comes with a reversible dustjacket featuring art from Marc Simonetti and Joel Daniel Phillips as well as 21 full-colour paintings by Simonetti within the book.

Underneath the jacket, the book itself is quarter-bound and printed with a bas-relief style painting by Phillips onto Wibalin Buckram. It features Darrow’s Hero Arc as if carved on a marble tomb. The spine image design is part of a much larger painting done by Phillips which will go across all books in the planned series.

Both front and back boards are covered in Wibalin Ruby Buckram and hot foil stamped in black and gold. Full-colour endpapers illustrated by Marc Simonetti adorn both the front and back of the book.

The spine is rounded and comes with gold head and tailbands as well as a silky smooth ribbon in red “Passion” by Berisford. The slipcase has been formed out of 3mm thick board and covered with printed buckram. The slipcase design features a photograph of a huge piece of marble we acquired, onto which the red sigils were hand-carved by our master stone carver Nick Roberson. On the spine is another hit of hot foil stamping in gold.

PLEASE NOTE: The pre-order window will be live from March 20 at Noon CT to April 10 at Noon CT, while supplies last. We will be going into production as soon as the pre-orders close, and we expect your book to ship this fall!
