"Carrie" -- Slip Cases and Tray Cases by bookslipcase.com

[Dolso]

Many of you may have already heard, but I thought I’d post it here also. I have a two-part offering of cases for the first edition of “Carrie”.

Slip Cases


The first part consists of a Slip Case. The only limitation on these is that there will not be more than 60 made. It will be engraved with your choice of one of the original pieces by Rachel Readman - see pics. Even though it won’t have the additional art or letter designation of the tray cases, it will be similar in design and material but is substantially less expensive – made of Maple with ‘streaked’ Maple spine, a spine label matching the ones used for the Lettered Cases and black felt liner ~~ This will be available for $135. I will have some of these available to ship by the end of February.

If you’d like to order a slip case or would like more info please email me at info@bookslipcase.com. Feel free to PM me but be aware, I'm much quicker responding to emails.....

The second part of the offer is for Matching Lettered "Carrie" cases. These will only be available for those that purchased one of the "Salem's Lot" Lettered cases. All of the ‘Lot purchasers should have received an email with this offer in December. If you didn’t get one or otherwise need to get in touch with me about them, feel free to email me at info@bookslipcase.com. (or you can PM) These traycases will be engraved with your choice of one of the cover engravings shown below, will have your matching Letter and will also have one piece of original art produced by Rachel Readman mounted on the inside of the lid.

Original Art Engravings


The pic below is an example of Rachels' art and is an example of one of the original pieces that will be contained in this case. Rachel has said that it will be a 'mixed-bag' - some oils, some water-colors, some colored-pencil, etc. Please visit her website at http://www.rachelreadman.com

Original Additional Art


"Carrie" will be the final case of the matching set of cases that started with "Night Shift" (art by Glen Chadbourne) - then to "The Shining" (Glen Chadbourne and Erin Wells art) - and then to "Salem's Lot" (Glen Chadbourne and Ned Dameron art).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch......

As always, Dick these will rock!!! Rachel was an inspired choice of artist!!!!! They look to be just incredible!!



I really LOVE that art of "Carrie" in the school and the fire!!! Awesome!!!

[Tito_Villa]

Good luck with selling them Dick, again, if I wasn't saving for a wedding!

[Shannon]

Very nice! I love that artwork.

[Ricky]

I won't be ordering one, but I love that Carrie art!

[Jimimck]

Ah very cool! A nice piece to finish off the set.
I also love the fact you are doing a slipcase option too. If I had a first edition Carrie, I'd be real keen.

[Dolso]

I've had a couple questions on the cover art ....

Rachel did take a little 'artistic license' with the art used for the engraving below. The piece is meant to represent (and to my mind succeeded in representing) several of the main themes of the story --- the fire surrounding her overbearing and zealously religious mother who is pictured on the cross. The eyes looking down being the 'hidden' girl/ second personality/unrealised power that only presents herself later.



(I wonder if "zealously" is even a word.....???)

[Merlin1958]

Very "insightful" pieces!!!!

[Patrick]

That one is my favorite of the two. Also, I really love that sample artwork that you showed in the first post. Rachel is a quite talented artist.

Yes, She is most certainly!!!!

[neosatus]

Wow, that is just incredible.

[Dolso]

She says that this is also oil on Belgian linen-boards. I am VERY impressed with Rachels' work. I might get a couple extras of these for myself!!

a great piece - too bad I kinda keep kosher - I think this goes against a few things for me...

[Jimimck]

I really like that piece too. She does some great work for sure.

[Patrick]

Wow!

[Merlin1958]

Wow!

Ditto!!!!

From the first page of “Carrie”……

“August 19, 1966

It was reliably reported by several persons that a rain of stones fell from a clear blue sky on Carlin Street in the town of Chamberlain on August 17th. The stones fell principally on the home of Mrs. Margaret White, damaging the roof extensively and ruining two gutters and a downspout valued at approximately $25. Mrs. White, a widow, lives with her three-year old daughter, Carietta.
Mrs. White could not be reached for comment.”

In all honesty, I hadn't read this book in over 30 years until I received this piece. I had to go back and read it again to refresh my memory!

I think this is one of the iconic scenes that everyone remembers!

[Randall Flagg]

Fantastic.

[carlosdetweiller]
