The gorgeous Lettered Edition of Red Rising, limited to 52 copies, screams high-end master-bookbinding with beautiful, high-quality mould-made paper. The interior layout has been reworked for letterpress and comes with the signatures of author Pierce Brown and artists Marc Simonetti and Joel Daniel Phillips.

 

It’s housed in a full leather solander clamshell traycase using the finest materials. The book itself has been “bradel bound”, a particularly beautiful and delicate way to attach the spine material to the books boards. The front board has been subtly blindstamped with a custom Red Rising inspired design which surrounds the iconic Howler sigil, rendered with 6 pieces of Antique BurgUndy leather onlay.

The spine is rounded with two raised bands with gold hand-tooling on either side. The author name and title are hot foil stamped in red metallic foil with a blind stamped pillar towards the base. We have utilized a red leather head and tailband on the book with a red ribbon, and the pages are gilded in gold on all three sides. The endpapers are handmarbled with a design to accentuate the bindings.

The case is made from black leather with more burgundy onlay to the front and back, with the trays lined in sumptuous “tomate” suede by Winter & Company.
