Description from Suntup Website
The Suntup edition of Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm is presented in three states. The editions measure 6” x 9” and feature five color and two black & white illustrations by Luke Hillestad, and an introduction by Lisa Tuttle. The illustrations in the Numbered and Lettered states are printed as fine art giclée prints on Hahnemühle Bugra and are tipped on. The text is set in Monotype Bembo and is printed letterpress by Max Koch in Austin, Texas on Accent Opaque, Neenah Cotton and mouldmade Hahnemühle Biblio papers. Typographic design is by award-winning designer Jason Dewinetz.
The Numbered edition of 250 copies is quarter-bound in cloth with paper sides. The woven cloth features a detail from the landscape painting used on the dust jacket of the Artist edition and is expertly printed by fine art print studio, Magnolia Editions in Oakland, California using UV-cured acrylic ink.
The paper is handmade Amatruda which is crafted in Amalfi, Italy, by the Amatruda family whose papermaking tradition dates back to the 15th century. This paper is produced using centuries-old techniques that involve manual processes and traditional equipment. Each sheet is made from 100% cotton, features deckled edges which are maintained for our edition.
Head & tail bands are handmade with cloth and endsheets are Colorplan paper. A fold-out of the Artist edition jacket art is included in this state. The edition is housed in a cloth covered clamshell enclosure with velour-lined trays and is printed letterpress on 80 lb Neenah Cotton paper. This state is signed by Lisa Tuttle and Luke Hillestad.
