    23/70


    HOW DO WE GET A LETTER "T" IF THERE ARE ONLY 70?
    A-Z & 1-44?

    What color is the Presentation copies designated an “artist’s presentation state,” signed by the authors and the book’s 10 illustrators.?

    I noticed today that the Deluxe edition has no signatures.. not even artists.

    So I am confused by the state with a limitiation of 70. Some are numbered and some are lettered. Are there 70 lettered and 70 numbered each or combined? I have letter G and number 70. It looks like there is also a number 23 and Letter T accounted for. So if it is 70 combined, would it be then :

    A-T (or U or V)
    21 (or 22 or 23) - 70

    Or did they do 70 numbered and then use the same limitation page for the Lettered, and just do A-Z?

    The way I read it is that there are 70 numbered copies of the artist presentation state, and an unknown number of lettered copies. So the numbered copies are 1-70 and the lettered copies are A - ??

    They just used additional copies of the artist presentation edition limitation page for the lettered editions, I suppose. That's why the lettered edition is marked T of 70.

    Does anyone know who the original recipients of the 5 Designer's Copies were? I acquired one recently and was curious.
