Hand and Eye has already started printing these beauties, the Artist’s Edition of ‘The Case of Death and Honey’ by Neil Gaiman, which will be published by Arete Editions. We have sold out of the The Artist’s Edition & Numbered Edition.
We’ve commissioned our own hand-made paper from Gangolf Ulbricht for it, every sheet having an Areté watermark. Each book is unique as it has the original artwork of one of Gary Gianni’s illustrations bound into the cover. Gary doesn’t often part with his art so we’re really pleased he has for this edition.
Bradel bound, the book sits in a solander box made of goatskin, also bradel bound to show off the design by Gary and Richard Tong. The box will also contain a portfolio of prints of a selection of the Death and Honey illustrations, a slim, hardcover introduction by Neil Gaiman, and Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story ‘The Adventure of the Creeping Man’, the inspiration for Death and Honey.
