I hope not. I'm looking forward to my copy of Stardust and admire Rich's work. I'm hoping he stays with more modern classics.I did notice Charles Vess indicated that he might be illustrating an edition of 'The Wind in the Willows' for Lyra's Books - sounded like maybe a 2022 project? I think his style would work really well for that book.
Mad Parrot is currently working on Wind in the Willows. If you aren't familiar with their prior work at Chester River Press and Deep Wood Press, check it out. The quality is outstanding. I have a copy of the Chester River Press Heart of Darkness and it is a gem.
Yes - I'm aware of the upcoming Mad Parrot edition - the Zimakov illustrations are really nice. His work on the Centipede Press 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' was a factor in my deciding to pick up that edition. I'd still like to see what Vess would do with it, has a certain rustic, pastoral quality that I think would be a good fit. I do understand the sentiment about certain titles attracting a seemingly disproportionate number of nice/fine editions though.
And yes, the Chester River 'Heart of Darkness' is pretty well top of my 'want' list, along with probably a few hundred other collectorsI'm giving some thought to the Deep Wood 'In the Penal Colony' - but the LEC edition is just lovely and not sure I can justify another copy, even with the new translation.

The lettered Stardust.
I've seen plenty of lettereds in my collecting lifetime, but this must be the most impressive.
Absolutely love this edition and so very happy to add it to the collection.
Thank you, Rich!

Looks wonderful!
All those pictures makes me impatient to recieve the book.
It definitely looks like a craftsman work !
I truly believe that between Suntup & Lyras, those two players in the book collecting world have stepped up the game !
