That looks great, Dick! How did you get the color into the "marbled" engraving?

I must admit, the mahogany didn't turn out to look too much like Marble... but still sort of a neat effect. That's why I usually make my case first -- I make the mistakes on my own case...after all, practice makes perfect. The color is hand-painted with acrylic paint inside an engraved design.Originally Posted by Patrick

I think the acrylic paint looks cool.

I have a S/L of The Taverns of the Dead for sale. I'll also trade (+/- $) for gift editions I don't have (UK Just After Sunset slipcased, UK The Colorado Kid artist editions in a slipcase, The Talisman.)
Here's one everyone can go out and get - the new leatherbound American Gods/Anansi Boys from Barnes and Noble - only $20
And as mentioned upthread, Borderlands Press will be releasing:

Legends II - S/L 500 copies
I have a signed limited copy of the graveyard book with my name printed by the publisher in the back. CREEEEEEEPY.... not really but kind of a cool gimmic. evryone who bought the limited got there name printed in the book.
That's actually kind of cool.
I agree - totally cool. Is that the Sub Press edition? That's one I haven't found yet at a decent price.
Ya, its the sub press limited.
Saw a signed copy of this at Half Price Books. I would have bought it if I had the money for it. They were selling for $85. Hoping to get the money at a later date and hoping it isn't sold by then.
Does whatever a spiderman does.
If it was for this edition, I think $85 might be a little too high. I only paid $45 for mine a few months ago. Keep shopping around, you can probably do better.Saw a signed copy of this at Half Price Books. I would have bought it if I had the money for it. They were selling for $85.

I have finally be able to get one of my Gaiman "Grail" books. The Sub Press edition of The Graveyard Book has always been hard to find at a decent price. Finally find one in my price range. Very happy to have this one in my collection,
