The Black Phone - lettered

Description from Suntup Website

The Suntup edition of “The Black Phone” by Joe Hill is presented in three states. The edition measures 7⅛ x 9⅞ inches and features four color illustrations by award-winning artist Reiko Murakami, and an afterword by C. Robert Cargill. The illustrations in all three states are beautifully printed as fine art giclée prints on Hahnemühle Bugra and are tipped on.

The text pages are set in Monotype Walbaum, and the type was cast in metal and printed letterpress by Pat Randle & Ellen Bills at Nomad Letterpress in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. The edition is designed by award-winning designer Jerry Kelly.

The Lettered edition is limited to 26 copies and is handbound in the finest goatskin from Harmatan and Oakridge. The leather is die-cut on the front cover revealing marbled paper beneath with gold and blind blocking designed to harmonize with the interior artwork, creating a seamless visual connection between the binding and the art. Endsheets are hand marbled for this edition and head & tail bands are handmade with marbled paper. The book is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in a premium woven fabric with velour lined trays and marbled paper on the inner spine.

This state is printed letterpress on 120 gsm handmade Velké Losiny from the historic paper mill in the Czech Republic which was founded in the late 16th century and continues to produce beautiful handmade paper to this day. The paper is a special making for this edition and features a custom watermark of the letter “S” referencing our press mark. A fold-out of the Classic edition jacket illustration is included. The edition is signed by Joe Hill, Reiko Murakami and C. Robert Cargill.
