The Lathe of Heaven lettered edition

Description from Suntup Website

The Suntup edition of The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin is presented in two states. The editions measure 6” x 9” and feature eleven color illustrations by Tifenn Python, as well as a new foreword by Elisabeth Le Guin. The text pages are set in Monotype Fournier, and printed letterpress on Mohawk Via Laid and mouldmade Arches by Scott Vile on his Heidelberg cylinder press in Buxton, Maine. Interior design and typography by award-winning designer Jason Dewinetz.

The Lettered state is limited to twenty-six copies and is bound in full goatskin. The design takes up the novel’s overlapping timelines represented by concentric circles which ripple across the covers, while its colors are drawn from the book’s illustrations. The leather is printed in several passes and worked with transfer printing, airbrushing and screenprinting, then hand-tooled in genuine gold; in places a fine craquelle breaks the surface. The head & tail bands are crafted in two colors of leather, and the Hahnemühle endpapers feature a transfer print finished with hand tooling.

The edition is housed in a clamshell enclosure with velour-lined trays and is printed letterpress on 120 gsm mouldmade Arches paper. This state is signed by Elisabeth Le Guin and Tifenn Python, and is handbound by Gillian Stewart in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
