Some reveals of the interiors! For the last, nearly, three years this book has been a labour of love for all of us, myself, Rich and Phil. Allen Jones has been such a pleasure to work with, a major historical artist who has really worked with the text. Here are a couple of images of a book that Rich had printed digitally to get a feel of the book as he was designing the stunning bindings. It will be two colour letterpress throughout the whole book. From the workshop of Rich Tong:
1st: “ODD, ODD, odd, was Lenina’s verdict on Bernard Marx. So odd, indeed, that in the course of the succeeding weeks she had wondered more than once whether she shouldn’t change her mind about the New Mexico holiday, and go instead to the North Pole with Benito Hoover.”
2nd; Half page cut down. “But I like the inconveniences.”
“We don’t,” said the Controller. “We prefer to do things comfortably.”
“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
3rd; Rich and Allen’s foil design on navy blue goatskin.
