Showcase: The Wolfen - Suntup lettered state

I go through fases in my collecting. I hit that point where I'm very picky in what I look for in a limited edition or fine press book. Despite less frenzied buying I still suffer from book creep in my libraries. So it's time for several books to find new owners. I decided to photograph the books I'm going to sell and some really deserve some extra attention. Why not keep them then if they are so beautiful?! Usually because I haven't read and realistically won't read the story and can't justify keeping an expensive limited edition of it on my shelves. Worst case scenario is that i'll have to buy it back in the future.

The book that prompted me to say this digital farewell is The Wolfen by Whitley Strieber. When taking pictures i couldn't help but admire how well this edition was done. This is 1 of 26 copies of the Suntup lettered edition of The Wolfen. That bright red works really nice with the brown Goatskin. Holding it reminded me of why goatskin evokes that luxurious feel. It smells good, it feels good and it looks awesome. The more I look at it, the harder it gets to let it go...
