Next you say?!
Color me intrigued you can.

Patience will pay off.
Rest assure I would like mine yesterday, but I want it to be perfect, and I'm sure Paul will do everything to make that the case.

Here's an update for you. The page blocks are now ready for the boards. They have been sewn, trimmed, and the endpapers are in place. So just waiting on the boards, which are coming along. We are getting closer folks.
Spectacular.
Fantastic

Will be a beautiful product, Paul!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Paul, do you have any photos of how the boards will be affixed to the page block? I know there will be a leather spine, but was curious to know how the whole thing fits together.
"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
Hi Simon. No photos of that yet because we don't have all the boards ready, but when we get to that stage of production, I will have some photos taken. In the meantime, here's some pictures I just took of the prototype showing how the boards are applied using the Bradel binding structure.
You can see that the board is placed on top of the leather of the spine at the hinge, and on the inside, the endpapers are affixed to both the leather and the back of the wood board. If you Google Bradel binding, you will get a lot more details.
Thanks Paul, I have just got back from reading about the Bradel binding - fascinating! and those pictures really help. It looks simply stunning close up.

Cool, yes this book is really going to be beautiful. To me, the wood boards themselves are a work of art.
On a side note, I talked to Jim today, and he has made some great progress the last week. All remaining boards have now been cut, and the final phase is the shaping, burning and polishing, which he is starting on next.
Paul when is projected ship date again on this?

Hey Paul, are the traycases for firestarter complete? If so, can we get a sneak peak? No worries if not
Looking for:
- Philtrum Press Eyes of the Dragon RED #165
- Fine Viking Eyes of the Dragon proof
Not yet Anthony. The bookbinder wants to run these around the same time as the books, but the materials have been chosen and the artwork for the dies are done.
I actually dropped off boards today for the laser engraving, and the pages that will be bound in, are all ready. That's the colophon, a special translucent sheet, and the original art.
This past week there has been a lot of activity on the project. Once I get the last batch of boards from Jim, then we can really drive this home.
