Paul, I have a couple questions about the different styles you use for the books (I apologize if you have answered this before).
What drives the choices between a standard slipcase versus the two piece box used on Horns (along with LTROI, ASD, Necormancer)?
Same question but with the spine design: flat like on The Auctioneer vs rounded on all the others?
Why do some slipcases have the titles on the box, while others don't (I'm pretty sure that is a material restriction like with the slick used on Red Dragon)?
Thanks!
Received my copy of The Auctioneer. Really beautiful design. Feels "appropriate" and fits the mood of the book. Well done.

Dead Zone First Edition F/F or NF/NF
This is not an easy question to answer. Part of the decision may be driven by how much it costs to produce the edition, and whether there is any room for a higher priced enclosure. Other factors may be the overall design, and whether it might benefit from a capped slipcase. So we'd consider the production as a whole. And there are other considerations which are difficult to quantify, or put into words.
As for the spine, also a tough one to answer. I like the way a flatback binding looks in a slipcase. It's all very square, and straight and it looks good. For a book like The Auctioneer, it seemed incongruous to have a rounded spine for that particular story. So the theme, or the type of story plays a part. 1984 will have a flat spine. That will look great in the acrylic case. And there's also another one coming up very soon.
And now, stamping on slipcase spines. I actually like some slipcases with no stamping. Maybe I have an odd view on this. Sometimes I see no need to put anything on the spine of a slipcase. Sometimes it's more about the design or material used. But of course, I don't feel strongly either way, because most have printing or stamping on the spines. There are times when we are figuring out what to do with the spine of a slipcase, and I don't want to put anything on it, and then I hear the voices of some of our customers who I know like to display the books with the slipcase facing out. So we end up doing something with the spine. This happened with the Simic poetry book. That is a full Japanese cloth case, and I wasn't intending to do anything on the spine, but I ended up putting a stamped label on it. And I think it looks sharp.
Another two examples, the Numbered Wells books. I just didn't feel it was needed, and would have interfered with, or disturbed the letterpress printed design. At least that's my opinion. For that brocade, yes I wouldn't even want to attempt to stamp that, and applying a label wasn't an option for me.
I say cap them all! I love that design. Although, the spine on Horns is so gorgeous, it's almost a sin to keep it covered up.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Cap ‘em All was Suntupica’s first album.
I love those capped slipcases. But I also love Paul’s mission to serve the work. And if it includes capped slipcases, then great.
It’s fantastic to see a shelf full of unique editions that broadcast the reading experience from just the spines.
I’m liking this flat spine on The Auctioneer more than I thought I would.
