The Lathe of Heaven numbered 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 Numbered edition of two hundred fifty copies is a Bradel binding with cyanotype-printed cloth covering the boards and a cloth covered spine featuring a letterpress printed label. Head & tail bands are handmade and endsheets are Hahnemühle Bugra.

Cyanotype is an analogue photographic process dating back to the 1800s. Each piece of cloth is hand-painted in several layers to build a deep, even print, then exposed to strong light. The light turns the cloth blue, while the dandelion forms shield it and leave those areas white. The seeds drifting loose on the wind are tooled in gold, catching the light against the blue. Because every sheet is painted and printed by hand, slight variations occur, and no two are exactly alike. The Cyanotype covers are created by by Gillian Stewart in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

The edition is housed in a clamshell enclosure with velour-lined trays and is printed letterpress on Mohawk Via Laid. This state is signed by Elisabeth Le Guin and Tifenn Python.
