Stories Of Your Life And Others by Ted Chiang.
This one you have to hold in your hands to appreciate. Clean and simple yet so precise and strikingly elegant. I dont think I've had a white leather lettered from SP before this beauty.

Beautiful book. Congrats!!

I was really eager to see this one, as $500+ is the price point that Sub Press really starts to put extra effort into their lettered editions and I wasn't sure what to expect. This does not disappoint!!

I'm glad you posted pics - I didn't know that the lettered finally came out and now I have to begin the hunt for my own copy

That Chiang lettered looks very nice indeed. Congrats, Yegor!

Beautiful new books, CONGRATS !!!

**Brian861** · 07-10-2018 06:04 AM

Great new stuff!

This is a very very impressive collection of books. They all look fantastic. And the pics themselves look so good. Congrats on a great set of books.

I posted this on SubPress FB Group yesterday following Bill's announcement that The Scar and Iron Council will be published. Actually I need to take the time and photograph my entire Mieville collection as I have very book SP produced.
This is one of the greatest volumes made by them in my opinion, great traycase design, end papers and tray inlays, leather bound, illustrated, beautiful paper. Perdido Street Station by China Mieville, 2011.

**firemonkey66** · 07-22-2018 05:20 PM

That is a nice looking book right there!

**ur2ndbiggestfan** · 07-22-2018 07:14 PM

The books look great.

I must confess I've only tried reading one book by Mieville and could not get past the first page.

**Hunchback Jack** · 07-22-2018 10:19 PM

As i said on FB, that is a gorgeous production from traycase to covers to paper. Congratulations.

I love that you've been able to photograph the texture of the leather on the book cover. So many of SubPress's best designs have covers that are textured or fascinating to touch. Photos are rarely able to capture that. Well done.

(Not that I've seen this edition first hand; I only have the Numbered).

Gorgeous book indeed! Book porn at its finest in this thread.

**Stockerlone** · 07-24-2018 03:30 AM

Congrats for this superbeautiful book !!!

This is one set of a few trades that I have. I'm actually obsessed with ASOIAF so I have a lot of various presentations and prints of the series.
These are first US editions - all immaculate with perfect dust jackets ( some were not easy to find at all ) , signed, some with a notable extras like A Feast For Crows jacket or an inscription by Phyllis Eisenstein in A Storm Of Swords.
Until a few weeks ago I could not find a decent Jon Snow cover to complete this set - even made these custom slipcases with various houses while patiently waiting for one to show up. Big thanks to Becca for her kind guidance in my quests.

**Hunchback Jack** · 07-30-2018 02:27 PM

Great stuff, Yegor.

And well done for getting one of the Feast for Crows dustjackets with the original art! Were they ever published with the book, or only available separately?

Temeraire series by Naomi Novik.
Each book has one extra illustration which are pictured among these shots. Love these silk tray-cases.

**ym2000** · 08-03-2018 02:32 AM

Call me old fashioned but I prefer this style of tryacases made with japanese silk I believe.

One of my prized possessions is Neil Gaiman collection. Here is The Graveyard Book which on its own can be the crown jewel of lettereds.

I got to ask Yegor... what makes it the best ever? You have shared books that I think look better and there are so many other cooler ones.... just curious my man! Kris

Kris,
It is one of the hardest books to find of all Gaiman lettereds in my opinion. Which makes it super hard to find among Subterranean Press. It brings a lot of money on secondary market.
But for me I love the elegance of this edition - gorgeous black silk case with original artwork inlay, excuisite binding, paper quality, illustrations, overall design. I think together with Smoke and Mirrors which I will post next, they are the perfect examples of craftsmanship that Im looking for in a lettered.

Real letter? $2K plus
Its very similar to The Silence Of The Lambs. I just love the design and color combination - black obviously makes it super elegant.
Joe Hill Locke and Key books are done the same way. Actually let me find those photos now.

Joe Hill Locke And Key series. The last book published together with IDW is not in the photos because these were taken a few years ago.

**Stockerlone** · 08-03-2018 04:45 AM

Supersupersupernice new stuff, BIG CONGRATS !!!
