The Dunsany Cycle Spins On

I am continuing to mail out all the copies of Lost Tales Volume 6 by Lord Dunsany that have been ordered. There are 5 copies still available to purchase and a small number of Volume 4 and 5 as well. More information about these Limited Letterpress editions of unpublished Lord Dunsany stories may be found here at our website. Proof copies of the Annals of the Jinns Edition have been sent to Master Binders in Seattle and Salt Lake City. They will bind test copies of the Numbered and Lettered Editions respectively. The tentative design for the numbered edition (34 copies) will use Japanese black silk moire of glowing iridescence with a full color pastedown on the front board and hand marbled Brazilian endpapers. The Lettered Edition (tentatively) will be quarter bound in purple/violet leather with facing marbled endpapers and inset color illustration. The edition will be housed in a custom clamshell box of shimmering black Japanese silk framing a full color illustration. I will share more news and photos of this lovely Limited Edition of Annals of the Jinns by R.H. Barlow soon. There are currently two amazing artists working on illustrations for the book. I still collect books when I see something I love and I couldn’t pass this one up, here’s a recent addition to the library I thought I would share.
