The Collector’s Edition is limited to 400 unnumbered copies hand-bound by Ludlow Bookbinders.
It is bound in full cloth printed with a striking illustration from Matt Murphy, with the title, author and artist foil stamped in white on the spine. The endpapers are GF Smith Colorplan Amethyst.
Because of the extensive colour artwork and highly detailed, textured black and white illustrations, all artwork is being printed using four-colour lithography. To simplify production, we’ve decided to upgrade the Collector’s Edition paper to match the paper used for the Deluxe Edition—Fedrigoni Arena White 140gsm (95lb)—a paper and weight we would normally reserve for Deluxe Editions only.
Each copy is enclosed in a custom slipcase handmade by Ludlow Bookbinders, wrapped in dark purple Corvon Carbon-X, giving it an industrial carbon fibre look, with the inside lined in soft suedel for protection.
Signed by Matt Murphy.
