Clive Barker’s 25th Anniversary Edition Weaveworld at Subterranean Press
Subterranean Press is offering the new limited edition of Clive Barker’s Weaveworld in two versions: a traycase edition for $250 and a “gift” edition for $45. What little I can find about this new edition of the book online makes it look stunning, but I know that only those who truly love books (and limited books) will find this interesting.
If numbers prove anything its that most out there would be just fine with the mass-market edition* since it is so much cheaper. Me? I love limited editions that have quality binding, fantastic paper, and beautiful artwork. Books as art? Yes, please.
Earthling Publications is producing Limited and Gift editions of one of our favorite books – Weaveworld by Clive Barker. We suspect this one will sell out quickly, in particular the numbered edition. We have a very limited supply of this edition, so please get your order in early.
Now, the details:That which is imagined need never be lost…
Earthling celebrates 25 years of Clive Barker’s Weaveworld with the definitive edition of this dark fantasy masterwork. Weaveworld: 25th Anniversary Edition will be released late 2012 in a modest print run. We will have copies of the Numbered and Gift editions:
- Gift Edition: clothbound, unsigned
- Numbered Edition: hand numbered 1-350; signed by Clive Barker and illustrator Richard Kirk; leatherbound; fine endsheets; bound-in satin ribbon page marker; traycased; includes bonus appendix material printed in full color: previously unreleased art as well as an early treatment/synopsis and original typed and hand-edited manuscript pages for Weaveworld when it was initially conceived as a children’s book
All editions feature new typesetting and design, two-color offset printing on fine paper (likely 80# Finch), 7×10 inch oversized pages, and smyth sewing…and nearly 30 original pieces of art by Richard Kirk, who has illustrated other projects by Clive Barker as well as Earthling releases by China Mieville and Christopher Golden.
