Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator - lettered

Description from Suntup Website

The Suntup edition of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl is presented in three states. The edition measures 6” x 9” and features over forty-eight color illustrations by Quentin Blake, as well as a new afterword by Donald Sturrock. The editions are printed by offset lithography on Cougar Vellum, Mohawk Via and Neenah Cotton papers. Designed by award-winning designer Misha Beletsky, this edition showcases his inventive typographic style, infusing the work with charm, sophistication, and unexpected visual delight.

The Lettered edition is limited to 26 copies and is a handbound quarter goatskin binding with clear UV filtering acrylic boards. The covers open onto a page printed letterpress in two colors on cotton paper featuring a unique ornamental design.

The clear acrylic was selected as a deliberate homage to the story’s most iconic invention—the transparent, gravity-defying glass elevator. The use of acrylic evokes the sleek, crystalline structure of the elevator, offering readers a tactile and visual connection to the fantastical vessel that carries Charlie and Willy Wonka beyond the factory and into orbit.

The book is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in cloth with velour lines trays. A fold-out of the Artist edition dust jacket illustration by Gris Grimly is included in this state. It is printed by offset lithography on Neenah cotton paper, and is signed by Donald Sturrock and Gris Grimly.
