    He has posted quite a few rebound, over the last 2 years on his instagram.
    I remember falling in love with his copy of "Stardust" last year, and going through his past pictures.

    Here is his instagram : https://www.instagram.com/lyrasbooks/?hl=fr

    You don't need an account to see the posts (if it still causes problems, dont hesitate to send me an email and i'll share you some of the pictures), but here are a few posts he shared about it :

    I understand what you mean now Kris.
    Those are beautiful pieces of work and the new Stardust in all its editions is probably as good as you will see anywhere, first class.
    Congratulations to all those collectors who have now one on their shelves or one in transit.
    The rebound Tolkien’s I have seen before and they are fine examples, however this is one of Richard’s passions and many are commissions, but they are not published work for the Tolkien Estates. I can see how it could be easily construed that they are.

    There has only been a few times in my book collecting life where I have been FLOORED. I mean fall off you chair, jaw hurts from your mouth spread so wide in awe... just flat out amazed. In fact, I can tell you those times. I can count them on one hand. My first lettered book which was IT from CD. The first time I seen my lettered Regulators. The day I opened the Suntup masterpiece's we all know as Misery. AND lastly..... today. I have seen a lot of books in my time... I love books. It gives me pure unadulterated joy. I love helping people get the ones they desire so much as I love the same for me. Which brings me to now. Today. And today Lyra's Stardust arrived. I bought all 4 books. I was not going to BUT am so glad I did. My hands were shaking holding these. All levels were hand made and it shows. Hand made by the press owner himself and the love he poured into each edition is evident in every piece and level. I am loyal to my small press publishers.. and only a few. Today I added Lyra Books to that shiort list. Now... if you will excuse me... I have to pick myself off the floor and wipe the drool off my chin. Cheers all... kris

    Just opened one of my two leather books (not sure, whether to open or not the second copy, so far... although I don't plan on selling it for months / years), and I LOVE the first copy.

    I dont have much comparison points in luxury books, as I only have gift editions otherwise, but from pictures I have seen, I don't think that any other limited looks as impressive.
    It really is as nice as when I first saw it, more than a year ago when Rich was working on a prototype, and fell in love with it.

    I am sooooo glad to have gotten it

    Not long now then. Worth the wait. Imagine, 4 months from order to delivery! Give or take a week or two.

    Pretty impressive. You will be so happy with this.
