THE 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 dust jacket featuring art from Marc Simonetti and Joel Daniel Phillips as well as 20 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 span the spines of 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.
