Standard Editions
For the first time ever, we have two Standard Editions! During the design process we couldn’t decide between these two, so decided to publish them both.
Each colourway is limited to 375 copies (750 in total). This edition has been Letterpress printed in two colours by Phil and Robert from Hand & Eye Letterpress on Munken Lynx Rough Ultra White 150gsm and is 276 pages in total. The colour images have been offset printed onto the page by Gomer Press, and the typography and B&W illustrations overprinted by Hand & Eye.
Quarter bound in Champagne and Black Wicotex cloth respectively and have hand marbled boards by Freya Scott of Paperwilds. The cover design has two colours of foil stamping, gold and white. The label affixed to the spine is the same marbled paper with another two hits of foil stamping. Handbound by the artisans at Ludlow Bookbinders.
The slipcase is also covered in the same cloth used on the spine and comes with another marbled paper label affixed on the back. There are two stamped designs on either side of the case, the classic “Whale” and “Petunia’s”.
This edition is signed by the contributors and the artist Gary Gianni.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
“This planet has—or rather had—a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.”
Don’t Panic! Curious King has a cure for unhappiness, and it just so happens to be their upcoming edition of “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams, illustrated by Gary Gianni!
