First, a spread showing the front and back covers and the spine...
Next, the way the book will look peeking out of the slipcase...
Here is the front cover of the book, leaning against the slipcase...
And finally, the front of the hardcover adjacent to the back of the slipcase...
Keep in mind, these are still prototypes. There could be some changes, major or minor, and I've been told there will be some additional tweaking and clean-up of the art. But this should give you a good idea of what the hardcover edition will look like. I really couldn't be more excited...this thing is going to be gorgeous.
Yay! I've pre-ordered the hardcover!
ReplyDeleteWhen I preordered the hardcover I had no idea it was going to be SUCH a beautiful object unto itself. I can't wait for that amazon package.
ReplyDeletehey matt! pre-ordered the soft but may have to switch. it is gorgeous. i think i will...
ReplyDeleteTitus, that is awesome. It gives me such a strange kind of joy to know that this book will be sitting on a shelf in Scotland somewhere. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I was really stunned when I saw what Tin House was doing. I had a lot of hopes but I know that book design can be costly and time consuming and I just didn't know if they had the resources. They really pulled it off though, and the book exceeded my loftiest expectations.
ReplyDeleteLizzy, yes! The book must be in France too! This is indeed wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
