Lettered edition

Post by CyberGhostface » Mon Feb 07, 2022 6:38 pm

So I've talked a bit about Suntup's editions of the novel. This is the lettered edition that's currently making the rounds to customers. (This isn't my copy; there's no way I could afford it). It was limited to only 26 copies and the original price was $2,500. It has goatskin binding, a leather cover and wooden 'Rubik cube' inlay. Content-wise it's the same as the other books so you aren't missing anything in terms of writing or illustrations. Just thought some of you might get a kick out of seeing it.

Not a fan of the red, blue, and green on the case(?). I see what they were going for with making it look like a cube, but a mix of bright colors like that doesn't do a good job of representing the story, I think. The actual cover is very nice, though. A simple black, white, and red (like on the original Swedish cover) is the color scheme that best represents the tale in my mind.
De höll om varandra i tystnad. Oskar blundade och visste: detta var det största. Ljuset från lyktan i portvalvet trängde svagt in genom hans slutna ögonlock, la en hinna av rött för hans ögon. Det största.

The edition is even more beautiful in reality than the pictures show.

Oh, hi there. Didn't realize you had an account here.

That's quite the understatement :lol: :lol:
"For a few seconds Oskar saw through Eli’s eyes. And what he saw was … himself. Only much better, more handsome, stronger than what he thought of himself. Seen with love."
