Nice, I'm glad to hear it's coming together so well. I can feel it getting close, and I'm getting excited all over again

Good News! So I heard from Jim Croft this week, and the remaining boards are done! These boards took 9 months to make... Well, I'm really pleased the day has come where they are all complete. They are off to the engraver next, and then the final phase for bookbinding. So now the light is no longer around the corner, but rather very much in front of us.
Sweeet, that's awesome news!

I know I'm going outisde the lines here but I thought you guys would dig this and didn't think anyone would look at it in the RB forum. Feel free to delete it if you need to. It is flame and rebound related

Good News Kids! The remaining boards have been completed for the custom-bound Firestarter, and were picked up today from the engraver. They will be off to the bookbinder next, and the final phase will begin. We're close now.
Can’t wait!!

"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
Nice! It’s very satisfying seeing those boards stacked like that

Paul, any details on the "Custom handmade tray case" that this beauty will be housed in?

Beautiful!
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
It’s a clamshell box, or what we call a traycase. Nothing too fancy or anything along the lines of the IT box. Just a really nice enclosure to house the book. Front and spine will be foil stamped. I will see if I can post a sample picture of the stamping and material when I have it.

Any News Do I here Christmas music
I certainly hope so. I asked/told the bookbinder that I would like them done by then. He has everything, blocks, boards, art, limitation page, etc. and has been hard at work on these for a few weeks now. So I am optimistic. He has to make the clamshell box as well. Soon as I have news to report I will let everyone know. Thanks for checking.
These really are amazing works of art...and I'm sure I'll be regretting not getting in on them at some point in the future....
just had so many other priorities to come first. Paying off the house, building a gremlin, keeping dogs healthy, keeping me healthy, etc.
But to all that did get these...Congrads, because every one done so far is so beautifully well done.
