I recently acquired a page block for the CP S/L version of 'Salem's Lot. The block was still "folded and gathered":
Hell yes. Looking forward to what this will look like (in a few months?)
Of course I have a set of prints, as well as a special surprise.
Weeks.... brilliant! Do you and the binder discuss design, Jerome? Or ask the designer to come up with something worthy, based on his other work? How does it work?
I usually provide the materials and convey my wishes to the bookbinder.
This book has a few differences in material than other versions I have done, but still is an homage to the earlier Betts rebound versions.
Awesome - can’t wait to see it 👍🏼.
Sweet!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
The picture doesn't do it justice, but I chose a fine English goatskin for the 3/4 binding. The skin is pebbled to resembled Moroccan goat skin (which I was unable to source).

Pos rep for that one.

I only need one...
You should do your own with a personal goat.
That would be easier than eating your favorite, but actually you could do both.
After this post, I'm saving pics for when I get the book from the binder. I have a secret or two left for then.
The most challenging part of this whole endeavor has been obtaining the endpapers I wanted for the book. It took UPS ground over 14 days to get me the endpapers. By that time (Tuesday night), I had reordered the endpapers from the supplier, and asked for them to be shipped direct to the binder. As fate appears to have decided, the reorder, and my shipping of the original order are Scheduled (scheduled no longer means what is used to, now it means a wild guess, and likely to disappoint) to arrive this Saturday. We shall see.
I've used these endpapers on on my Different Seasons rebind projects. They were always for the "Fall from innocence" story-The Body. They represent the Fall colors, and the changes fall brings.
I think they are appropriate for 'Salem's Lot. The papers are called Thai Marble Momi Firestorm. They come from Thailand and are hand "crinkled". The paper is made from Kozu (a mistake I believe on the seller's website that should read Kudzu) and Bamboo pulp. It's impossible to truly see, or feel the 3D texture on a computer or phone. Here is a two-dimensional image:
It took over 2 weeks for the endpapers to finally make it to the binder. Finally he has all of the parts!
I decided to be a bit different that the other rebinds I have seen, and go with the title stamped in blood red. All other stamping s in the traditional gold. Pics from the binder:
Ooooooo that's classy!
Looking for Suntup Brother ARC and Suntup Seed ARC
Note the finely pebbled (Moroccan style) fine English goatskin:
Looks like another home run
