No Country for Old Men numbered edition

Description from Suntup Website

The Suntup edition of No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy is presented in three states. The edition measures 6” x 9” and features ten color illustrations by world-renowned and multi-award-winning watercolor artist Joseph Zbukvic. The text pages are set in Monotype Garamont, and printed letterpress by Scott Vile on his Heidelberg cylinder press in Buxton, Maine on Cougar Natural, Neenah Cotton and mouldmade Arches Text Wove papers. The printing includes three passes through the press on the title page spread, and two passes on the half title, title, and chapter numbers. Interior design and typography by award-winning designer Jason Dewinetz.

The Numbered edition of two-hundred fifty copies is a full leather binding with the title blind debossed into the leather, across the entire cover using a heated die creating a deep, branded impression that darkens the surface and enhances the natural grain. The effect is raw and elemental, aligning with the stripped-down brutality of the narrative.

We have selected a distinctive vegetable-tanned leather from the renowned Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Known as “Pueblo,” this leather is hand-finished to achieve a uniquely distressed, almost sand-worn texture that evokes the parched desert landscapes and sun-beaten terrain of Cormac McCarthy’s borderland setting. The surface of the leather bears a subtle rugged grain, its visual irregularities and tonal depth suggesting scars and weathering that echo the characters of the novel.

Endsheet papers are Napura Khepera and head & tail bands are handmade with leather. The edition is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Dubletta cloth with velour lined trays. It is printed letterpress on Neenah Cotton paper and is signed by Joseph Zbukvic.
