Ratman's Notebooks numbered edition

Description from Suntup Website

The Suntup edition of Ratman’s Notebooks by Stephen Gilbert is presented in three states. The edition measures 6” x 9” and features six color illustrations by Sophia Rapata and an introduction by Kim Newman. The editions are printed by offset lithography on Cougar Vellum, Mohawk Via and Neenah Cotton papers. Interior design is by award-winning designer Misha Beletsky.

The Numbered edition of 250 copies is quarter bound in goatskin with cloth-covered boards and a ribbon marker, constructed as a flatback binding in a notebook-inspired style. A wraparound elastic closure runs vertically to hold the book shut. A die-cut paper label is affixed to the front cover, its corner deliberately shaped as though gnawed—an understated nod to the rats that haunt the story. Six rat silhouettes foil-blocked in silver are arranged vertically along the spine material where it extends onto the front board—echoing the slow, creeping advance of the story’s central infestation.

The overall design pays quiet homage to the novel’s form, drawing on the familiar materials and structure of a notebook. Endsheets are Hahnemühle Bugra and the book is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in cloth with velour lined trays. It is printed on Mohawk Via Vellum paper and is signed by Kim Newman and Sophia Rapata.
