The Woman, by Jack Kethum
Infernal House, Lettered Edition
The woman is a great production.
Of the ones that I own, it would be the S/L of the Strain by Del. LRB did a great job with the design.
I always thought the Bentley S/L edition of Carte Blanche is pretty cool.

LAST CALL by Tim Powers lettered edition published by Charnel House!
This is considered by many to be the holy grail of small press horror collectors. It very very rarely comes up for sale and is felt by many collectors to be the most beautiful book published in the 20th century.
The tarot card that is bound into the cover of this book is of the LOVERS and making it an even more sought after of the 26 produced. This is letter "I" of 26 lettered edition. Book is in fine unread condition.

Forgot about the Gaiman book. Very nice production.
I'm sure everyone here knows it but I like the 'It 25th Anniversary Special Edition' just because It is my favorite book and I think it's a beautiful presentation.
