Alright Becca just for you.
Alright Becca just for you.
I don't know about everyone else, but that's the one I like best (the first option).

I agree option 1
I like that as well - the one on the left - I presume that's option #1
Agree on option one as well
So I am going to need someone to post the size of the trade HC so I can confirm fit for that before I can send the plate off to Jeff for this as well. The sooner someone can post that I can make final adjustments and both plates will be in Jeffs hands.
Thanks everyone for the input. I'm going with title running down the spine with author across.
I measure 9 7/16 H x 6 7/16 W x 1 3/8 D with a Brodart... if someone wants to verify that'd be great.
This is for the US trade.

Spelling
I am interested in a slipcase for the SubPress edition and the trade edition. Note (not being rude) but Weir is misspelled in some of the concept images.

Very good catch... I wasn't even paying attention to the spelling.

Thanks guys! Can you tell I am a developer lol I can't spell worth a shit.
EDIT: Here is the corrected plate. (Fuzzy because it is just a screen shot)
I just did final checks and it will fit the Trade and 1/1 so works as a double plate again.
I am going to send it off to Jeff so we can start.

Just an update Jeff and I have been going back and forth for a few days now on the plates. For some reason on my computer is shows one size then when I print it it prints bigger. No big deal just don't trust computer rulers. The fun part was when I sent it to him and he printed it we got another size still. We have figured stuff out and it should be going off to the plate makers today.
What program do you use? If you have Illustrator or a vector based program, that is extremely accurate.
(I'm just guessing that maybe the DPI is a factor in the size discrepancy if you are using a photo editing program?)

I am glad you said that. I was going crazy trying to explain the DPI differences to Jeff lol. I use a freeware called InkScape that is great for vectors but Jeff usually needs it in PDF form so on the conversion it requires a DPI and I just leave it default. Then opening in Adobe caused skew issues (I think there was an error in the Font download) but if I opened in my browser it looked just fine. I think the size issues came mostly from me printing on an industrial printer with Jeff probably on a home printer (different DPIs). Sorry that was really nerdy...
In the end no matter where we printed the image help the correct ratio and still fit on both cases for the trade and S/L so we are good to go! Plates should be back in 3 days then he will send me the test fit cases and afterward all will be ready for order. So hopefully by the 1st we should have everything ready for order.
Just for the skew issue... if you convert to outlines and then make your PDF, that shouldn't happen.

It was almost as it the vector was trying to compensate for getting larger by making the lines thicker which is usual but it only made some of them thicker and tapered them into thinner lines. Looked wonky
Weird... maybe the scale strokes & effects was off?

No idea. It was only weird with Adobe, it worked when I opened it in Chrome or Mozilla.
Alright Becca this update is mostly for you. We are doing a test case and then once confirmed we will open the flood gates for ordering. Not quite yet.
From Jeff,
The plates are back and I have done some test prints, all looking good the holo is working
Sweet!!
;)

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered, but I don't recall seeing it: Will this new case also fit the UK S/L HC?
I know the UK edition is a different size.

It all depends on the width of the book. Basically how thick is the spine I know Jeff confirmed it will work for the UK 1/1 so as long as the spine is greater than 1 1/8 I think then you are good to go. When we are ready you can email just saying you want this plate on a case and send him the dimensions of the book and he will make it.
Here is the test cases from Jeff. One they make it across the pond and I can confirm fit they will be open to orders. The Red with White/Yellow is one that he made for himself to fit the UK 1/1 of the book. If you want different color combos feel free to shoot an email to him at time of order with what you are looking for.
