That looks amazing! Very well thought out.
Outstanding. I really like the endpapers and gold detailing on the bindings.
Are the four playing cards that identify each copy all hearts, or all queens, or some other scheme? Or is that not to be revealed?

The suited cards was definitely the "hook". Just a genius idea IMHO.
On another note, I posted looking for opinions/thoughts on these re-binding projects in the "Dragon Rebound" thread and I would think that this effort falls into the same category for discussion. Purely for discussion purposes onlt because both are absolutely amazing and well done editions. Never the less, feel free to offer any thoughts or opinions you may have.

Not sure if I posted this before, but I had a book bound featuring the art only from one of the Different Seasons projects I did.
Here are a few samples:

One of my favorite pieces. Maitz incorporated a Nazi image in the smoke, and if you look closely, Maitz's signature "drains" down:
That Maitz is so sweet

OK. I can't stop.
I have a project on the boards. The rebind book is a true 1st edition 1st hardback USA printing of King's "Four Past Midnight".
I already have deposits in board for 3 of the 5 total to be done. Thus only two left. Deposit is $250.
Total cost of the book will be less than $2K, but likely closer to $1.5K-$1.75k.
Interested parties should PM me ASAP. If you have a signed copy, we can use that for your personal edition. There will be an original piece of art for each of the 4 stories, plus a unique piece used to create the stamping for the slipcase covers.
Of course there will also be intriguing papers to separate the stories, as well as something cool for the true endpapers.
I usually don't even announce this stuff in advance, but what the heck. Two slots are left...
Sounds very intriguing indeed!!!!

Just to make it more fun. Anyone who buys can have an additional page bound in with pretty much anything you wish to say, or even dedicate the book(s) to yourself. I only did this one other time (Different Seasons) and the recipient was thrilled.
One left.
I can work out a payment plan.
Book is slated to be delivered in 100 days.

Sold out!
Update:
Every single book (20 total-5 books with 4 stories) will have it's own unique endpapers. No two will be alike. The books will be fully bound in espresso goat skin. A custom stamp was created for the slipcases.
I've seen samples of the art and it's mind blowing in detail, and originality.
As it happens there is one copy left. Please contact me ASAP if you are interested.

Last copy sold.
~4 weeks to shipping.
I promise this will be a mind blower. I am so anxious to show some of the art, but must wait.
Binder is out of glue. Supplier is out of glue. Result- a non-sticky situation.
I'm having a rough year...
In time for my birthday!!!

I'm only posting a few pictures, as I'd like the buyers to have first chance to dig into the books. But here are some samples:
The books have a chocolate suede binding, with deep brown boards and custom gold filigree.
Note, there are four sets of 5 books, and each has its own unique endpaper-thus a total of 20 different endpapers.

I'm particularly pleased with the artwork for Secret Window, Secret Garden.
Very excited
