Nice !
Nice !
Thanks Jerome. I think I've exhausted the permutations!
Now that others have had a chance to show there numbered If It Bleeds, I'll post a few pics of mine.

Just beautiful! Superb, Jerome!!!
John
Magnificent!!!!!
I had extra binding materials, so I did another version. It's the book, but not split into four volumes. I did use the end-papers to divide each story, and three of the four art pieces are unique to the book.
I'll post pictures of that creation next year.
As mentioned, I had enough ostrich skin left over to bind a single edition. I had the book bound, and separated the stories with the excess endpapers that were also left over. In addition, for three of the stories I had completely different art bound in.

I think for now I've done enough with If It Bleeds. On to new projects.

Nice !
Very nice Jerome. Happy New Year.
Great work, great design.
Awesome stuff
Definitely one (or four) of the most amazing rebounds ever! :heart:

The next 2 projects are well on their way. In some ways they have been done before, but these two are a tribute to Bill Bender (Merlin1958), and will be unique in their own ways.
Stay tuned. Oh, btw, go back and read all 18+ pages of this thread to see some fabulous ideas presented by others-including ideas that were integrated in the Dragon Rebound edition of IT (currently selling for over $20K if you can find one).
I have a new project that will be mind blowing!
No less than two artists, and possibly the artist for the cover of the US trade edition.
These will be a single volume with an original art custom stamped slipcase. Each edition will have no less than two original pieces of art bound in. It's likely (but not guaranteed) that an additional piece of original art from the artist who did the cover art for the book will be creating an original piece for each book.
There will be 8 books created. Two are already spoken for. 6 books are left for people to buy.
I'm doing everything in my power to keep the price of each book at or below $899 (plus shipping).
The first 6 people to PM me with interest will be on the list. If more than 6 people respond, the additional requests will be noted in case the original 6 opt out.
At this time I'm not even asking for a deposit (if I did it would be 100% refundable).
I guarantee (money back, no questions asked) that the 6 recipients will be thrilled by the production.
If anyone keeps track, they will see that every rebind I have done sells for more than the initial asking price.
First six people to commit get on the list.
I know it's not a lot of info, but the first 6 people will be thrilled.
You never disappoint - can't wait!

All 6 spots have now been spoken for. I'll still take 2 extra names in case someone changes their mind.
You do some great work Jerome. I am sure this will be no different.
I'm pretty thrilled with the artists we have on board. We may even get another artist. If so, it will be mind blowing (but of course more expensive).
